Mohammad Rahbar
Mohammad Rahbar worked as a journalist and writer for 16 years in Iran before he had to flee the country. All the newspapers he has worked for have been shut down and most of his former colleagues were imprisoned.
Mr. Rahbar has in addition to writing for Iranian newspapers also produced numerous articles for the foreign press, many of which have been published by the BBC (written under a pseudonym, as using his real name would have been too risky).
Mr. Rahbar and his wife arrived in Trondheim in late 2012, as the city's 4th guest writer.
