Pirooz Jafari migrated to Australia more than two decades ago as an ambitious photographer. However, his experience of witnessing violations of human rights ignited a passion in him to pursue legal studies. In the summer of 2003, Pirooz graduated as a lawyer. Since then, he has worked in various community-based organisations and statutory bodies. Earlier this month, Pirooz wrote his first literary fiction novel “Forty Nights.” **
