Ruhollah Zam (Persian: رÙØâاÙÙ٠ز٠, also Romanized as "Rouhollah Zam"; 27 July 1978 â 12 December 2020) was an Iranian activist and journalist.

In June 2020, an Iran court found him guilty of "corruption on earth" for running a popular anti-government forum, which officials said had incited the 2017â2018 Iranian protests.
