The Front for Democracy and Human Rights (Persian: جبهه دموکراسی‌خواهی و حقوق بشر) was an alliance founded by Mostafa Moin in 2005, as the main theme for his presidential campaign during 2005 election.[1] Moin referred the alliance's aim as "to defend the rights of all Iran’s religious and ethnic groups, the youth, academicians, women and political opposition groups whose rights are often neglected."[2]

The Council of Nationalist-Religious Activists of Iran and Freedom Movement of Iran joined the alliance, along with the reformers.[3][4]

Hussein-Ali Montazeri backed the front.[5]
