Biography
Seyyed Ali-Asghar Gharavi (Persian: سید علیاصغر غروی) is an Iranian scholar of religion and political activist affiliated with the Freedom Movement of Iran.
According to the American magazine In These Times, he is "one of Iran's most prominent pro-democracy activists and political thinkers".
In 1998, he was arrested and summoned to the Special Clerical Court for criticizing the regime, despite the fact he is not a cleric. In 2013, Bahar newspaper was banned for publishing an article written by Gharavi, titled “Imam Ali, a Political Leader or a Religious Model?”. He was accused of "blasphemy" for implicitly challenging Iran's Supreme Leader.
