Mazyar Keshvari (

asylum seekers in Norway, and the deportation of immigrants convicted of crimes.[3][4][5][6] In 2019 he was convicted of aggravated fraud for defrauding the Norwegian parliament and in 2020 he was sentenced to 11 months imprisonment.[7][1] He left the Norwegian parliament following his indictment in 2018 and also left the Progress Party in October 2019.[8] In 2019 he was also arrested and charged with making violent threats,[9] and he was convicted and sentenced to an additional four months in prison in 2020.[2]

Early life and education

Born in

Islamic Revolution because his family had ties to the Shah, and came to Norway as an asylum seeker in 1986, eventually settling in Oslo.[11][12]
Upon finishing Ulsrud Upper Secondary school in 2001, he enrolled at the BI Norwegian Business School and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Information and Public Relations in 2005.[13]

Political career

He joined the

Central committee. He has also been editor-in-chief of the political magazine Fri Kapitalisme.[14]

He was first elected to Oslo city council in 2007, and was re-elected for another term in 2011, and is the current chairman of the Standing Committee on Health and Care Services.[10][15]

Since 2005, Keshvari has been serving as a deputy representative from Oslo to the

Sunnaas Hospital,[17] as well as being chairman of the official Constitution Day committee.[18]

In 2013 he was elected as a deputy MP for a third term. As Siv Jensen was selected as a member of Solberg's Cabinet, Keshvari advanced to a regular representative.[16] In 2019 he cancelled his membership in the Progress Party.[19]

Political views

Iran

He has made his mark in the Norwegian

comical Ali.[23]

A fierce critic of the

islamo-fascist regime with nuclear ambitions resources and technology, they are sustaining and legitimizing its existence[24]

Immigration

Keshvari is known taking a hard stance on immigration, calling for a complete ban on further immigration to Norway, a stop to the practice of accepting

asylum seekers in Norway, and the deportation of immigrants convicted of crimes.[3][4][5][6]

He has stated that immigrants who do not comply with "Norwegian values" should "beat it".[25] He has repeatedly called for a complete ban on further immigration to Norway, stating that it is not sustainable in the long-term.[26][27] Responding to government plans to open a centre for asylum-seekers on Andøya in 2008 he described the plans as "irresponsible" and "almost madness" and stated that immigration to Norway was "totally out of control".[28]

Outspoken against what he perceives as progressive ethnic segregation of Oslo neighborhoods,[29] Keshvari has repeatedly accused fellow politicians who reside in Oslo's largely homogeneous west-end of having "elitist-attitudes" when praising the situation. Especially he targeted the Conservative Party's Julie Brodtkorb who he believed had "elitist-syndrome".[30]

In response to public outcry over the establishment of

anti-roma sentiment in the city.[32]

He also opposes female genital mutilation.[33]

Animal rights

Keshvari has advocated a rich and diverse wildlife in and around Oslo. He has opposed calls from the

grey wolf population in the østmarka woods outside Oslo.[34]

Controversy

In 2014 Keshvari was accused of making death threats against NRK debate moderator Ingunn Solheim in an Oslo pub. Keshvari maintained that the comments were made in jest, and NRK decided against filing charges.[35]

In 2018 Aftenposten revealed that Keshvari had received several reimbursements of travel expenses for trips that he could not possibly have made. Keshvari admitted to defrauding the Storting, and declared that he wanted to make amends and pay back the reimbursements.[36] In October 2019, he canceled his membership in the Progress Party and he was sentenced to seven months prison for gross fraud.[37]

In February 2019, Keshvari was arrested for making "serious threats" involving a firearm. He has denied any wrongdoing.[38][39][40]

Personal life

He lives in the Oslo suburb of Ellingsrud.[11] He is also a patron of fine arts including paintings, and especially the works of Edvard Munch, replicas of which adorned his former office at Oslo City Hall.[41]
