He died on November 4, 2025, at the age of 92 \u2014 but his name will remain etched in the conscience of all who believe in justice, dignity, and the unyielding defense of human freedom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sir Geoffrey Bindman was not merely a lawyer; he was the embodiment of moral courage in the service of law. As founder of Bindmans LLP, he built one of Britain\u2019s first and most respected human rights chambers \u2014 a sanctuary for the powerless and a weapon against tyranny. Through decades of work, he defended victims of torture, discrimination, and political persecution across the world, earning a reputation for integrity and compassion that transcended borders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But to the people of Iran, Sir Geoffrey was far <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2020\/aug\/13\/regime-mocks-human-rights-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than an advocate<\/a>. He was a brother in the struggle \u2014 a man who stood by the Iranian Resistance when few dared, and who lent his legal mastery to lifting the unjust \u201cterrorist\u201d label imposed on the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK). His courage in that campaign led to a landmark victory in the British High Court \u2014 a triumph not only for one organization, but for truth, due process, and the right of a nation to resist tyranny.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With deepest condolences on the passing of Sir Geoffrey Bindman, a distinguished British jurist, renowned defender of human rights, a long-standing friend of the Iranian Resistance, and one of the most enduring and influential figures in the world of law. <br \/>His name and memory\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GCcutlUKyX\">pic.twitter.com\/GCcutlUKyX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Maryam_Rajavi\/status\/1987910215178613005?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 10, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sir Geoffrey understood that law without conscience is hollow.
