description: "Yousuf Khan Mostashar al-Dowleh (1823–1895) was an Iranian writer, intellectual and diplomat. Mostashar al-Dowleh is best known for his treatise \"A Word\", which was known as one of the most secular treatises of the Qajar era. Together with Mirza Malkam Khan, he was one of the first to spread liberal ideas in Iran. He was eventually imprisoned for his views during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar and died three years later."
