Majid Tavakoli is an Iranian student leader, human rights activist and political prisoner. He was arrested at least three times by the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence during the student protests over the disputed Presidential Election of 2009. He was arrested again during the Iranian protests following the death of Mahsa Amini in September 2022. His brother Mohsen Tavakoli announced his arrest on 23 September on Twitter and reported that the security forces came into the house at night by creating panic and took his brother away. Tavakoli has been kept in solitary confinement since then.
