Early life
Jamali was born in Isfahan, Iran, and lived in the Islamic Republic.[3] She left Iran with her family at the age of 13, and subsequently relocated to the United Kingdom, where she later attained British citizenship.[1] She holds a formal educational background in medical biochemistry.[3] Jamali has a physical disability.[4]
Activism and public career
Anti-Iranian-regime protests
Following the September 2022 death of Mahsa Amini, Jamali became a primary grassroots organizer of the subsequent hijab and human rights protests in London.[1] She maintained a daily physical protest presence in London for a year.[3] The demonstrations scaled from small vigils to major rallies, which drew up to 27,000 participants at their peak.[2]
Her activism advocates the total collapse and regime change of the Islamic Republic.[5] She called on international broadcast media for the coordinated international diplomatic isolation of the Iranian government.[6] Within the United Kingdom, Jamali has lobbied the British government to officially proscribe the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.[7]
Institutional and parliamentary engagement
Jamali has provided briefings at major legislative forums.[4] She has met with lawmakers inside the UK Houses of Parliament to discuss political strategies countering Iranian state oppression.[3] In early 2026, she spoke before the French Senate alongside a coalition of international women leaders to advocate for accountability regarding state-sanctioned sexual violence utilized as a weapon of war.[4]
Geopolitical positions
In the spring of 2024, Jamali traveled to Israel as part of an official expatriate Iranian delegation sponsored by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[1] The delegation—which included exiled Iranian artists, creators, and journalists—visited historic sites, areas affected by the October 7 attacks, and border zones.[2] During the visit, she was present in the town of Bat Yam when Iran launched its April 2024 missile and drone strikes against Israel, using the event to warn Western media about the regional threat posed by the Tehran regime.[2]
