Maryam Shafipour

Maryam Shafipour is an Iranian human-rights activist residing in Canada. She is known for her courageous advocacy for civil liberties and her personal experience with the Iranian judicial system, having been imprisoned for 67 days in solitary confinement at Tehran’s Evin Prison between 2013 and 2015. Following the recent passing of a controversial law in Iran that intensifies repression against dissent and human rights activism, Shafipour has been vocal about the implications of this legislation for both Iranians and exiled activists.
