Abdollah Momeni

Abdollah Momeni (Persian: عبدالله مؤمنی; born 31 June 1977) is an Iranian student leader and activist.

Abdollah Momeni worked as a longtime spokesman of the Alumni Association of Iran (Advar-e Tahkim Vahdat) organization, which focuses on enforcement of democracy and human rights protection.

He was arrested during protests after the election in June 2009, and later sentenced to eight years in prison for his presence at post-election gatherings and activities against national security.

It should be mentioned that I know Mr. Yousefi Jam since his several months of imprisonment in the Political ward of Evin prison.

I, Abdollah Momeni, consider myself a pro-democracy activist committed to the national sovereignty and independence of my own country, and I have always opposed the imposing of unilateral economic sanctions by the US government or any other government on Iran, which inevitably makes life difficult for the people of my country.
