I heard the very sad news, that Dr. Manouchehr Farhangi was brutally killed at the age 82, in his country of residence, Spain
He was stabbed in front of his house in Madrid on March 20th, this was the first day of Nourooz. He only had time to tell the paramedics rushing him to the Paz hospital of Madrid, that he had been stabbed by a woman. The Spanish police is considering his murder as politically motivated.
Farhangi was born into a Zoroastrian family in 1926 in the province of Kerman in Iran. A man of integrity, he was an Iranian philanthropist and a successful businessman, with deep respect for and tireless efforts to promote ancient Iranian culture and history. Mr Manouchehr Farhangi, founder of ICS (International College Spain), was recently awarded the ECIS (European Council for International Schools) prize for the Promotion of International Education. I should note that International College Spain (ICS) was a key supporter of and a financial donor to the Bas-Relief project ofCyrus the Great in Australia in the mid 1990’s. Prior to the revolution had also helped in creating the beautiful vacation resort of 'Dehkadeye Saheli' in Anzali, Northern Iran. He was the founder of one of the most important Pharmaceutical companies in Iran.

Mr.Farhangi, was deeply in love with his country Iran. He spent his life making contributions to Persian and Iranian events all over the world, from Iran, to Tajikistan and the Parsi community of india. He always considered that it was his duty as Iranian to do everything possible to keep the Persian culture live. He was very critical of the Islamic regime ruling Iran. The IRI assasins and thugs decided to take his life on the first day of Nourooz a Norooz that kept being celebrated in Spain by Iranians thanks to Mr.Frahangi's economical contributions. He traveled to India, to Tajikistan and to all major Western countries trying to support in anything he could to gather Iranians around the fire of ateshkadeh, around what he believed was the real essence and spirit of Iran and Persians. He was killed because of this by the same dark forces of terror who killed Fereydoon Farrokhzad and Dr.Kourosh Aryamanesh.
Mr Farhangi will be missed.
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr Manouchehr Farhangi.
