Farideh Moradkhani

Farideh Moradkhani (; born 1971) is an Iranian engineer and human rights activist. She is a niece of Iran's former supreme leader Ali Khamenei and a cousin of the current supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

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. Mordkhani was subsequently released on bail.

On 23 November 2022, Mordkhani was arrested after going to a prosecutor's office following a summons.

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".
