Darius
Radmanesh |
Born in 1969 in
Kirksville, Missouri to a Cherokee mother and an Iranian
father, Darius Radmanesh spent the first nine years of
his life like any other precocious boy growing up in
small town America.
In 1978, Darius's
father moved the family to Iran where their lives were
forever changed by the Islamic Revolt of 1979. Raised as
a Christian, Darius and his family endured appalling
incidents inflicted by the Iranian government while
dodging attacks from Iraqi bomber
raids.
At the age of sixteen,
Darius was yanked off the street by members of the
Iranian Islamic Guard (Hezbolah) and sent to the front
lines to fight. With the assistance of an Iranian Major,
Darius was able to elude his subjugators and escape into
the mountains where he found refuge amongst the Qashqai
nomads.
Darius eventually linked
up with the U.S. State Department and was smuggled out
of Iran through the Persian Gulf, and on to Dubai and
the American Consulate. From there, Darius returned to
his American homeland, the boy now a war-wearied
man.
Darius is committed to
raising awareness regarding the imminent global-threat
posed by the corrupt, Iranian regime and the plight of
the Iranian people. He currently resides in London with
his wife and four-year-old
son.
