Zolal Habibi

Zolal Habibi is an Iranian human rights activist and a prominent voice for justice, democracy, and women’s rights in Iran. She serves on the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), where she advocates globally for a free, secular, and democratic Iran.

With over two decades of activism, in recent years she has become a fierce advocate for the voiceless in Iran, often appearing at international forums, human rights conferences, and live broadcasts.

Zolal’s activism began in her teens, shaped by the loss of her father—a respected Iranian writer and political dissident—who was killed by the regime in 1988.
