From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jahangir Mahmoudi is an Iranian lawyer, human rights activist and politician.

Early life

[edit]

Mahmoudi is the founder of "Khuzestan defenders party". In late August 2004, he was arrested and jailed in Ahvaz, Iran due to his opposition to the Iranian regime.[1]

On August 25, 2010, officials from the Special Clerical Court stated that Jahangir Mahmoudi had been arrested as a result of his intentions to represent a number of political prisoners[2] after repeated inquiries by his wife. Mahmoudi is currently being held at the Isfahan Prison.[3] The trials of the political prisoners will continue without the presence of their lawyers.[4]
