Abbas Amir-Entezam (Persian: عباس امیرانتظام, 18 August 1932 – 12 July 2018) was an Iranian politician who served as deputy prime minister in the Interim Cabinet of Mehdi Bazargan in 1979.
In 1981 he was sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of spying for the U.S., a charge critics suggest was a cover for retaliation against his early opposition to theocratic government in Iran.
He was "the longest-held political prisoner in the Islamic Republic of Iran".According to Fariba Amini, as of 2006 he had "been in jail for 17 years." In July 2018, he died while serving his life sentence, seving more than 38 years as a politcal prisoner.
