The Independent«ایرانیان تا آخرین نفس علیه این رژیم خواهند جنگید» – امید جلیلی
British-Iranian comedian Omid Djalili talks to The Independent’s Caspar Barnes about the brutal protest crackdown and whether US intervention could usher in a new era for Iran.
Born in London to Iranian parents, Djalili has only been to Iran twice in his life. Once when he was three and the final time in 1971 when he was just six years old. Ever since his rise to fame in the mid-1990s with his breakthrough stand-up show “Short, Fat, Kebab Shop Owner’s Son” – which won critical acclaim and led to regular TV and film work – he has remained one of the most recognisable British-Iranians in the UK.
As a result, he has always kept a watchful eye on the country of his parents’ birth and has been an outspoken voice on human rights abuses in Iran.
