Iraj Mesdaghi

Iraj Mesdaghi (Persian: ایرج مصداقی; born 1960) is an Iranian writer and human rights activist.

Mesdaghi is also a member of the "Committee for the Observation and Use of Iranian Justice Data", headed by Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi.

The Committee helped verify information in a leaked file from the Iranian Judiciary which revealed the extent of the governments political arrests, imprisonments, and executions from 1978 to 2009.

[5][6] On November 9, 2019, the Swedish police apprehended Hamid Noury at Arlanda Airport after he was lured to Sweden by Iraj Mesdaghi.

They arranged his flight ticket and led him to believe that he was coming to Sweden for sightseeing, a cruise, meeting women, and partying.

Iraj Mesdaghi shared the plan with international law experts and lawyers, who in turn contacted the Swedish police.
