Farideh Moradkhani (Persian: فریده مرادخانی; born 1971) is an Iranian engineer and human rights activist.
Mordkhani has been detained multiple times, including a January 2022 arrest which sent her to section 209 of Evin Prison, possibly due to praising the ousted pre-revolutionary empress Farah Diba and suggesting she be allowed to return to Iran.
[3] On 25 November 2022, her France-based brother Mahmoud Moradkhani shared a video, in which she called on foreign governments to cut all links with Tehran's "murderous and child-killing" regime, and stated: "This regime is not loyal to any of its religious principles and does not know any laws or rules except force and maintaining its power in any possible way".
[3] She also criticized what she described as the inaction of the United Nations, that in front of "obvious and cruel oppression of the Iranian people" issued ″only a few expressions of regret and short and ineffective statements″.
Farideh's father, Ali Tehrani, was a prominent opposition figure who died in October 2022.
