[edit] Life
Mina Ahadi was born in Abhar, Iran to an Iranian Azeri family.
Her husband, who was also a political activist, was executed on the date of the couple's anniversary. His execution became her motivation to fight against capital punishment.[2]
She is currently living and working in Germany and recently helped to gain the freedom of Nazanin Fateh in Iran. Due to death-threats against her, she has been living under police protection from the moment of her public appearance as the chairwoman of the Central Council of Ex-Muslims.[2][3]
On 20 October 2007 she was awarded the Secularist of the Year prize by the UK's National Secular Society.[citation needed]
She is the mother of two daughters.
