Nabeel Yasin (born 18 March 1950, Baghdad) is an Iraqi poet, journalist and political activist.〔(Profile on VoicesEducation.org )〕 ==Biography== Yasin was born in 1950 in the Karradat Merriam district of Baghdad. He studied Arabic Literature at Baghdad University, graduating in 1971. He wrote poetry from an early age and took part in poetry festivals at the university, as well as in national festivals in Basra and Nineveh. Yasin began his career in journalism in 1966, and worked for national newspapers such as ''al-Thuwra'' and ''al-Jumhuria''. He was also editor of the children’s weekly ''Mejelitee-wal-Mismar'' and the magazine ''Alif-Ba''. In 1976, under pressure from the regime of dictator Saddam Hussein, Yasin was forced to give up his official journalistic posts, although he continued to write for an opposition paper until 1979 when the regime cracked down harder. In January 1980, fearing for his life, he left Iraq with his wife and child, arriving in Hungary. Yasin completed his PhD in philosophy at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1987. Both in Hungary and later in the UK, he was a prominent figure in the Iraqi opposition movement in exile, appearing often in print and electronic media. The Saddam regime was toppled by the American invasion in early 2003. Yasin returned to Iraq for the first time in 2007, after spending 27 years in exile. Prior to the parliamentary elections in March 2010, Yasin set up a secular political party called Justice & Freedom: Renew Iraq. He ran unsuccessfully for the position of prime minister, which was eventually retained by Nouri al-Maliki.〔(Election diary in the ''Guardian'' )〕 More recently, Nabeel and his eldest son Yamam Nabeel have been running a non-profit organization called FC Unity which aims to further development and education through football matches and tournaments. FC Unity have so far held events in Iraq, England, Ghana and Sudan.〔(FC Unity - The Team )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nabeel Yasin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
