Amir Abbas Fakhravar, also known as Siavash, is an esteemed Iranian-American writer and scholar of constitutional law. Amir's life took a dramatic turn when, at the young age of sixteen while excelling as a senior high school student in mathematics and physics, he was arrested by the authorities of the Islamic regime of Iran. This marked the beginning of a series of arrests during his time in medical school and law school, all stemming from his student activities, writings, and speeches. Amir's unwavering commitment to his principles led to him being sentenced to prison twice by the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Iran. Remarkably, while serving an eight-year prison term as a political prisoner in Evin Prison, he authored a novel which was shortlisted for the prestigious Paulo Coelho Literature Award. In November 2004, International PEN recognized Amir Fakhravar on "the Day of the Imprisoned Writer," a testament to his resilience and dedication to freedom of expression. English PEN and PEN Canada also bestowed honorary awards upon him in the same year. During his harrowing imprisonment in the notorious Evin and Qasr prisons, Amir was subjected to brutal torture, a form of cruelty condemned by Amnesty International as the first documented instance of "white torture" in Iran's history. In a remarkable turn of events in 2006, Amir Fakhravar managed to escape Evin Prison with the assistance of the George W. Bush administration. His courage and insights led him to testify before both the Senate Homeland Security Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he illuminated critical aspects of U.S.-Iran relations. In 2010, Amir began teaching "Democratic Transition" at the Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C., as a research fellow and visiting lecturer. Since December 2013, he has been instructing courses in "Comparative Constitutional Law," "Political Crime," and "Interpol" at the Texas State University System as an adjunct professor. Amir Fakhravar's fourth book, "Comrade Ayatollah," has not only achieved best-seller status in the Iranian underground book market since 2016 but has also served as a catalyst for the constitutional revolution in Iran against the oppressive Islamic dictatorship. Amir is aptly recognized as "The Persian Thomas Jefferson" for his pivotal role in crafting a proposed constitution for a future Iran. His unyielding dedication to constitutional reform and Iran's Constitutional Revolution has afforded him the privilege of addressing both the United States Congress and the UK Parliament on multiple occasions. Amir Fakhravar's enduring contributions and tireless advocacy for positive change solidify his standing as a significant figure in the realms of international relations and constitutional law.
