Submission declined on 22 February 2026 by Pythoncoder (talk). This draft appears to contain text generated by a large language model (such as ChatGPT). You cannot use LLMs to generate article content. LLM-generated pages with certain obvious signs of being machine generated may be deleted without notice. These tools are prone to specific issues that violate our policies: hallucinations: they often invent false information and cite non-existent references. unencyclopedic tone: they tend to be vague, promotional, or essay-like, rather than neutral and factual. copyright issues: they may closely paraphrase existing text, leading to copyright violations. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. See the advice page on large language models for more information.

Keyvan Samadi is an Iranian human rights activist and former political prisoner. He was detained during the nationwide protests in Iran in 2022 and has publicly testified about his detention and torture in interviews with international media, including Die Zeit, CNN, and IranWire.^[1]

Following his release and departure from Iran, he became involved in human rights advocacy, focusing on documenting torture, secret detention facilities, and other human rights violations committed against protesters.^[2]

IranWire reported that Samadi was held in a secret detention facility, where he was subjected to physical and psychological torture. He later provided testimony to international human rights mechanisms regarding his treatment in custody.^[3]
