Farzan Athari (Persian: فرزان اطهری, born June 26, 1984) is an International Model, Actor, TV host and TV personality from Sweden with Persian background.
In May 2013 he got caught in Dubai, UAE with 20.26 gram of cocaine outside his home in the Burj Khalifa tower. He was sentenced to life in prison for possession of drugs with intent to promote - which under UAE law amounts to 25 years but the sentence was later reduced to 10 years after he set up a petition online [1] which has attracted more than 65,000 signatures to promote his plight. He insists he was entrapped and was coerced into signing a confession and statements in Arabic, a language which he can’t read or understand.[2] He later went on to record a song from jail asking ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid for a pardon. The tribute song succeeded and touched His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and he ordered a special pardon for Farzan Athari.[3]
