Amir Farshad Ebrahimi (Persian: امیر فرشاد ابراهیمی ) (born August 14, 1975) is a former member of Ansar-e Hezbollah.
Born in the Gholhak district of Tehran, he joined Basij at the age of 12 and fought in the Iran–Iraq War. After graduation from Alborz High School, he joined the Qods special forces, one of the five forces of Sepah, and graduated from the Imam Ali military school of the Qods with a major in psychological warfare engineering. He was among the first series of Sepah officers who were sent to North Korea.
Ebrahimi started Ansar-e Hezbollah along with other veterans following the end of the Iran-Iraq War to "defend" the Islamic revolution "against Western influence." He became the managing editor of the group's own newspaper, and "spent a lot of time together" with Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's Supreme leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He says he quit Ansar-e Hezbollah after the July 1999 student riots in Tehran. Ansar-e Hezbollah used violence against students but Ebrahimi decided, "No, Ansar-e Hezbollah is wrong, you the students are right."
Ebrahimi also got a bachelor of Fine Arts in 1997 with a cinema major.
He was the media attaché of the Iranian embassy in Beirut, Lebanon from 1997 to 1998. After coming back from Lebanon, he went to the law school and got his master's degree in International Law from Tehran University in 2002. He received a Doctoral Degree In Human Rights From Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey in May 2006.
