description: "Mehmed Emîn Bozarslan was a Turkish-Swedish Kurdish writer and translator. Born in Diyarbakır in south-eastern Turkey, he moved to Sweden as political asylum seeker in 1978, and he lived in Uppsala until his death. The most famous of his early works was Alfabê which was the first ABC-book for Kurdish learning that was published in Turkey in 1968. The books were impounded immediately by a Turkish court. Emin was arrested and jailed under separatism charges. He was released after a while but jailed again on another occasion under the military regime from spring 1971 to summer of 1974. He moved to Sweden as a political asylum seeker in 1978."
