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
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
Security forces arrested Borzouee on 28 September 2022, during Mahsa Amini protests, for statements she had made on her twitter account.[6][7][8]
