Bijan Moini, born near Karlsruhe in 1984, is a lawyer, political scientist, and civil rights activist with German Iranian roots. After earning his doctorate and completing his legal clerkship in Hong Kong and Berlin, he worked as a lawyer for a commercial law firm. When the idea for his first novel came to him, he quit and devoted himself to writing. In 2019, Der Würfel (The Cube) was published by Atrium Verlag. The following year, the same publisher brought out Rettet die Freiheit! Ein Weckruf im digitalen Zeitalter (Rescue Freedom! A Wake-up Call in the Digital Age). In 2021, Unser gutes Recht. Was hinter den Gesetzen steckt (Our Inherent Rights. What's Behind the Laws) was published by Hoffmann und Campe. Today, he works for the Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte (Society for Freedom Rights) and appears on television, radio, and in numerous print and online media as an expert on this subject. Moini lives with his family in Berlin.
