Florida for Human Rights in Iran (FHRI) is a group of citizens with a wide range of backgrounds joined together in support of human rights in Iran.

The Iranian presidential election in June 2009 was widely perceived to be fraudulent; massive pro-democracy protests which followed in Iran were brutally crushed by the government, eliciting worldwide support for Iranian people and protest against the their government.

FHRI was formed in Orlando in support of human rights in Iran. FHRI has successfully campaigned to increase public awareness of human rights violations in Iran by organizing art exhibits, rallies and events at which authors and former political prisoners have spoken. FHRI works closely with other human right organizations such as Amnesty International USA.
