Center for Human Rights in Iran

American non-government organisation

The Center for Human Rights in Iran (formerly the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran; ICHRI) is an American non-government organization that aims to promote human rights in Iran.[1][2]

The group started in late 2007 when several human rights activists working for the Dutch non-governmental organization 'Foundation for Human Security in the Middle East' wished to focus on the situation in Iran.[3]

Background

Hadi Ghaemi is the executive director (as of April 2019).[4] He graduated from Boston University in 1994 and then taught physics at New York University until 2000. He has worked for human rights since and, in 2003, received a research grant from the MacArthur Foundation.[5]

In October 2015, actor and activist Nazanin Boniadi joined the Board of Directors of the Center for Human Rights in Iran.[6]
