Houshang Asadi (b. 1950) is a journalist, writer, and political activist from Iran now living an exiled life in France. He has had his career as a journalist and editor interrupted by prison terms both before and after the 1979 Revolution. In exile he published "Letters to my Torturer" (2010) to give his account of political imprisonment in post-revolution Iran; to which "Six Lines in Prison" now may add a dimension.
