  <about><![CDATA[Akbar Ganji (  born 31 January 1960 in tehran) is an Iranian journalist and writer. He has been described as a &quot;wildly popular pro-democracy journalist&quot; who has crossed press censorship &quot;red lines&quot; regularly, and received &quot;death threats from government-affiliated thugs almost daily. A supporter of the Islamic revolution as a youth, he became dissenchanted in the mid-1990s and served time in Tehran's Evin Prison from 2001 to 2006 after publishing a series of stories on the murder of dissident authors known as the Chain Murders of Iran. While in prison he issued a manifesto which established him as the first &quot;prominent dissident, believing Muslim and former revolutionary&quot; to call for a replacement of Iran's theocratic system with &quot;a secular democracy.&quot; 
Ganji has won several international awards for his work, including the World Association of Newspapers' Golden Pen of Freedom Award , Canadian Journalists for Free Expression's International Press Freedom Award, the Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders, and the John Humphrey Freedom Award.
