Asadollah Hadi

Asadollah Hadi is a metal and textile worker who spent years in prison in the 1980s, 2000s, and 2010s. He was once again arrested during the national uprising in 2022.

The national uprising of 2022 centered around the “woman, life, freedom” slogan was triggered in response to the murder of Mahsa (Zhina) Amini. The protests began sporadically in several cities and online space but in just a few days it spread to dozens of cities across Iran and the goal of the protesters changed to overthrowing the regime. <symbol-timeline></symbol-timeline>
