Zulfiqari, better known by his pen name Zoro, is a satirical poet who posts videos of himself reciting his poetry on social media. He was first imprisoned in 1993, then again in 1998, and most recently in July 2023 when he was summoned to court for his writing. In July 2024, he was sentenced to a year in prison for “insult” and “propaganda.” His Telegram channel, Zoro’s Laughing Mask, remains a key outlet for his satirical work.
