Description and Reader Names: Internationally-acclaimed writer Moniru Ravanipur (Iran) will read from a work-in-progress at City of Asylum on March 7. The event is free, but space is limited; reservations are required.

Moniru Ravanipur has written novels, short stories, works for children, plays and screenplays. She was among 17 activists to face trial in Iran for their participation in the 2000 Berlin Conference, for which they were accused of taking part in anti-Iran propaganda. Copies of her books were recently stripped from bookstore shelves in Iran in a countrywide police action.

Moniru’s visit to City of Asylum is a cooperative project with The Ellis School, where she will speak on March 6 as part of the school’s annual Women Of Courage Speaker Series.
