Biography | Najati Sidqi was one of the first Arabs to join the Palestine Communist Party in the first half of the 1920s and one of the first to study in the Communist University for Workers of the East in Moscow. The British Mandate authorities detained him in February 1931 and sentenced him to two years’ imprisonment. The leaders of the Communist International (COMINTERN) gave him party assignments in many countries before he moved to Beirut and worked in the press, and then in the Near East Broadcasting Service in Jerusalem. He was well-known in literary circles as a translator from Russian and as a short-story writer. He left us some interesting memoirs.
