Soran Ismail

Soran Ismail, born December 3, 1987, in Iran is a Swedish comedian of Kurdish descent who as an immigrant grew up in Knivsta, Uppsala County and lived most of his life in Sweden.[1] He is well known for his participation in several TV- and radio shows with a humour profile.
One late night in 2010, Ismail was filmed by Kent Ekeroth when arguing in the street with Ekeroth and two other high profile members of the Sweden Democrats in an incident known as the iron pipe scandal. In November 2012, the video was leaked to the newspaper Expressen, and the video of the Sweden Democrats provoking Ismail caused such outrage that the latter (by then all members of the Swedish parliament) were forced to resign from their positions in the party. Chief Prosecutor Mats Åhlund also initiated a preliminary investigation concerning racial agitation charges.[2]
