Majid Tavakoli (Persian: مجید توکلی; born 1986) is an Iranian student leader, human rights activist and political prisoner. He used to be a member of the Islamic Students' Association at Tehran's Amirkabir University of Technology, where he studied shipbuilding.[1] He was arrested at least three times by the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence,[2] during the student protests over the disputed Presidential Election of 2009. In response to allegations that he cross-dressed as a disguise to avoid arrest, a campaign protesting his imprisonment featured men posting photos of themselves wearing hijab.[3]
He was arrested again during the Iranian protests following the death of Mahsa Amini in September 2022.
