Jan Pêt Khorto (born 1986) is a Syrian Kurdish poet,[1] writer,[2] and public speaker. His poetry is categorised as having political orientation and has been characterized as exile literature.
Born in Aleppo. Jan is of a Kurdish descent.[3] From Afrin; a Kurdish city in north-western Syria. He studied his formal education in Aleppo, and then moved to Damascus to study Journalism at Damascus University in 2006.[3] While at university, Jan initiated an underground newspaper together with few Kurdish and Arab journalists and artists. Their activities were spotted by the Syrian intelligence services, and a couple of the members were arrested. In 2007, Jan Pêt has been arrested as well due to his literary and political activism in Aleppo. He was released after several months in various Mukhabarat centres, including Political, Military, General and Air Force Intelligence Directorates. He currently lives in Copenhagen, Denmark as an exiled writer.[4] He started a newspaper in 2010 (ID-Zone) that focused on the asylum seekers living conditions and stories in Denmark. The newspaper lasted 11 months. He was a co-founder of the Syrian Cultural Institute in Denmark in 2015, and occupied the position of the Vice-President at the board for a period of a year from 2016 to 2017[5]
