He studied in Tehran and met Darya Amini, who they would marry and have 2 children with. He was arrested in 1979 after he waved the Pahlavi flag. He would later be released and his charges were dropped.
Siavash was a philosopher who wrote numerous books, his most notable works was “Mountains” in 1989. He would later move to the United Kingdom in 1997.
