Amir Khorram (Persian: امیر خرم) is an Iranian engineer and political activist.
He was a senior member of the Freedom Movement of Iran,[1] and one of its central committee members.[2]
Khorram had been arrested several times and spend more than ten years in prison for his political activities between 2001 and 2016.[3]
Views
Khorram maintains that political groups such as Freedom Movement of Iran keep discontented people from turning against the establishment, metaphorically comparing them to a "moat" that prevents people from leaving a "castle" (Iranian regime).[4]
