Welcome to our blog! Iranian authorities have recently sentenced Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to an additional six months in prison. The Free Narges Coalition reported that Mohammadi was charged with “disobeying and resisting orders” after protesting the execution of a political prisoner in August. Despite facing numerous arrests and imprisonment, Mohammadi has continued her activism, making her the 19th woman to win the Nobel Prize for Peace.
Mohammadi, currently held at Evin Prison, has faced increasing sentencing, with the latest order reflecting the Iranian government’s displeasure at her international recognition. Her activism has played a crucial role in women-led protests in Iran, sparking significant challenges to the current regime. The statement by the Free Narges Coalition demanded her unconditional release citing her declining health due to heart disease.
