David Abbasi, also known as Siyavash Awesta (سیاوش اوستا), is a writer, journalist, and critical Islamologist, recognized as the first writer, producer of radio and television programs, and critic of the politicization of Islam and political Islam.

"In 1983, he founded the Franco-Persian

For 43 years, David Abbasi has faced numerous attempts by fundamentalists to silence him. Forgeries and impersonations were used by extremists who adopted his name, associating it with criminal actions and appearing in the media as if they were David!
A look-alike of David Abbasi was even fabricated…
They also created groups using exactly the same name as his
association and radio station.
For example, the leader of the fake ACFP association had the
same last name (Abbassi) but his first name was Ruoholah,
and he lived in Montreuil, falsely claiming to be David Abbasi!
Additionally, the wife of the security agent at the Islamic embassy in Paris founded an association named "Soleil de Perse"...
