Amineh Kakabaveh (born 6 December 1970)[2] is a Swedish Left Party politician of Iranian Kurdish descent.[3] She has been a member of the Parliament of Sweden since 2008.
Before fleeing to Sweden via Turkey, she was a member of Komalah.
In April 2016, the Left Party asked Kakabaveh to take a "time out" after sharing a racist propaganda film about Somalis on social media. It contained a fake Swedish National Television logo and Kakabaveh assumed that it was a SVT production.[4]
