Biography

Fereydoun Farrokhzad was a poet and singer. He was stabbed to death and was beheaded with a knife on 9 August 1992, at his home in Bonn, Germany, and was found three days later. He was living in exile since the Islamic Revolution in Iran. The murder has been treated as a work of the Iranian government, because of his anti-Islamic Republic remarks on his shows, which insulted mainly Khomeini and other leaders of the Islamic Republic.

He was a great entertainer and trained many Persian singers currently living in Los Angeles. He was known by his supporters to be an educated patriot who spoke out against the Islamic Republic. Farrokhzad was always present during many demonstrations and always spoke out loud and clear against the Islamic Republic.
