Abdul Rahman Haji Ahmadi (Persian: عبدالرحمن حاجیاحمدی; 1 January 1941 – 18 March 2025), commonly known as just Haji Ahmadi, was an Iranian Kurdish leader who led a group called the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), a group fighting against the Iranian government for the creation of an autonomous Kurdish region inside Iran. He was said to live in exile with German citizenship in Cologne, Germany, where he allegedly led the organization. The PJAK is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, Iran, and Turkey, while Russia, the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), and many other countries refuse to designate it as a terrorist organization.
