Vida Hajebi (Hadjebi) Tabrizi (1936–2017) was an Iranian social justice activist and writer.[1]
She was arrested in July 1972 in Tehran, and imprisoned for 6 years.[2] In 1974 Columbia University sociologist Allan Silver[3] personally took a letter of protest signed by the Canadian Association of Sociologists to Iranian Embassy in Washington, D.C. regarding her detention. American Feminist Kate Millett, the National Organization for Women representative and Anne Roberts, Amnesty International representative and other concerned U.S citizens publicly denounced the treatment of women prisoners of conscience in Iran.
