Kadivar is a cleric and professor who has written extensively about the importance of freedom and democracy in Islam. When he was in Iran, he was put in prison because of his views against the regime and was released partially with the help of his friend Mousavi. Recently, he has spoken out against the actions of the government of Iran and has written statements detailing why the actions of the regime are against Islam. He has also worked with his teacher Grand Ayotallah Montezari to condemn the crackdown on protesters and the arrest of political prisoners.

He was also my professor in political philosophy of Islam and much of my knowledge of the current situation comes from him.
