TEHRAN – A book that spotlights the Zoroastrians who have shown valor during various events in modern Iranian history has recently been published in Tehran.

Parvin Bamsian, Nakhostindokht Farhadi and Bozarjomehr Parkhideh are the co-authors of the book titled “Honoring Brave Zoroastrians”.

The book released by Behjat Publications was unveiled during a special ceremony at Tehran’s Khosravi Hall last Thursday.  

The book begins with biographies of Parviz Shahjahan and Fereidun Khosro Arestani, two Zoroastrians who killed during the Constitutional Movement in the early 1900s.

The Zoroastrians who were killed during the 1979 Islamic Revolution and the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war have also been discussed in the book.

The book also introduces the Zoroastrians soldiers who were held captive for years in Iraq. 

The writers have conducted interviews with families of the soldiers for the book.
