Biography
Atena Daemi Khoshknudhani (Persian: آتÙا دائ٠Û; born 1988) is an Iranian civil rights activist, children's rights activist, human rights activist and political prisoner in Iran. Daemi was last arrested in November 2016 and sentenced seven years prison sentence. Peaceful activities for which she was charged include distributing anti-death penalty leaflets and making posts on Facebook and Twitter criticising Iran's execution record. Later, Daemi and her sisters were arrested and sentenced on charges of having "insulted officers on duty". Subsequent appeals have overturned that conviction and reduced Daemi's original sentence. Daemi has been on hunger strike at Evin Prison (9 April 2017 â 1 June 2017, 55 days) and at Shahr-e Rey prison near Tehran (24 January 2018 â 15 February 2018, 22 days). She continues to protest against conditions and against the death penalty from within Evin prison. She is considered a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International.
