In his own words:
I was born in the spring of 1970 in Saqiz. Obviously, my father, Shahid Osman, was an athlete himself and this is why I got involved in sports since I was a child.
1982 was the year I started playing sports. My father was martyred by the executioners of the Islamic Republic in Saqiz along with his friend Asad Suleimanpour. My mother encouraged me to go to the gym and fill my spare time with sports.
From 1982 to 1989 I won first place in Kurdistan province and in 1990 I won fifth place in the Iranian national team competition for the 1990 Asian Championships in China.
After a month of preparing for the competition, I returned to Saqiz, where I was arrested by the regime's intelligence agency. I spent the best part of my life for four years in the Islamic Republic's exile prisons in Saqiz, Mashhad and Yazd. I was released from prison in Yazd for two years, but I was not allowed to leave the city without intelligence documents.
In the same year, 1993, I participated in the Iranian General Competition and won the fourth place for Yazd. In 1994 and 1995, I also won the fourth place in the continent. It is worth mentioning that I participated in competitions in prisons several times and brought my victories as gifts to my friends.
I finished second in 1996, but I was never allowed to participate in the national team camp.
Fortunately, I never bowed to the demands of the Islamic Republic and did not give up the path of freedom and democracy, despite all the obstacles they put in my way and many others like me.
Therefore, after settling in Canada, I reaffirmed my pride for my country and people. In 2002, I won first place in Ontario and second place in wrestling in this country.[1]
