Mona Borzouee (Persian: مونا برزویی) is an Iranian poet and songwriter. Borzouee is known for writing Persian song lyrics for several well-known Iranian musicians. She was arrested in October 2022 during the Iranian protests following the death of Mahsa Amini.
Background
[edit]Borzouee first gained recognition for writing the lyrics to Shadmehr Aghili's song, Ashk-e man (Persian: اشک من, lit. "my tear") in 2003. She has written song lyrics for many of Iran's most celebrated Persian-speaking musicians, including Aref, Googoosh, Ebi, Mehdi Yarrahi, Shadmehr Aghili, Majid Akhshabi, Ali Lohrasbi, and Ehsan Khajeh Amiri.[1]
In 2013, she published a collection of her lyrics, titled Taghdir (Persian: تقدیر, lit. "destiny").[2]
Allameh Tabataba'i University cancelled Borzouee's workshop on songwriting after Iran's state TV ran a disparaging news segment about her.[3][4][5]
Arrest
[edit]Security forces arrested Borzouee on 28 September 2022, during Mahsa Amini protests, for statements she had made on her twitter account.[6][7][8]
