Ahmad Raouf Bacharidoust was
born on 23 August 1964 in Astara, a small town on the Caspian Sea. Living
conditions were ideal in the region, with its rolling green hills. With his
older sister Massoumeh and his family, Ahmad had every reason to feel happy.
And yet…
There would be many
surprises in the life of Ahmad Raouf Bacharidoust, nicknamed the “little
prince” by his families, first his natural family, then that of his brothers-in-arms and
companions in prison. The young man soon understood that he would have to fight
in order to survive. And yet he had the good fortune to be born into a
close-knit family. The young man in a hurry could not stand injustice. His freshness, his youth, his unconcern,
and his insolence made him a prominent figure in the fight against the mullahs. A Little Prince in the Land of the
Mullahs tells his story. The story of one young man among so many others who, risking his
life, driven by a deep sense of purpose, would fight to his last breath against
all tyrannies.
