About Azar Mansouri
Born 1964. Azar Mansouri is an Iranian politician.
Azar Mansouri (; born 1964) is an Iranian reformist politician. She is a founding member of the Union of Islamic Iran People Party and the party's secretary-general. She is also a senior member of the Islamic Iran Participation Front. Mansouri was a campaigner for the One Million Signatures and considered is among the pioneers of Iranian NGOs working for women's rights. She was disqualified for the 2008 Iranian legislative election and arrested following the post-election protests in 2009.
During the protests, the Reformists Front had reportedly attempted to publish a letter, commissioned by Mansouri, calling on the resignation of Ali Khamenei and for a transitional council to govern Iran. When security forces learned of the statement, they issued "heavy and blatant" threats to the leaders of the alliance as well as warnings of widespread arrests, and the statement was withdrawn.
Shortly thereafter, Mansouri became the target of a potential assassination attempt during a visit to her country home, when she discovered a heating pipe in the home had been sealed with new insulation, which could have resulted in fatal carbon monoxide poisoning. On 8 February 2026, Mansouri, along with Ebrahim Asgharzadeh and Mohsen Aminzadeh were arrested by Iranian authorities on charges of "targeting national unity, taking a stance against the constitution, coordination with enemy propaganda, promoting surrender, diverting political groups and creating secret subversive mechanisms". She was released on bail on 13 February.
