Our Association was founded by eight people.
Ahmad, Pooya and Marcel developed the idea in the summer of 2023, as the aftermath of the Bahamad Conference fallout in Berlin at the start of 2023, which saw over 1000 Iranian activists quarrying over basic principles and not coming to a single, small agreement.
Mehdi, Maryam and Saghar, who are also active with other groups, voiced support for the concept during the discussions in the autumn of 2023.
Near the end of 2023, Yasin and Behnam, who are active in the fields of human rights and advocacy for victims of systematic injustice, had also joined the team.
The association was formally founded in February of 2024, with its seat in the city of Munich.
