Iran Sentences Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi to 7 More Years
Narges Mohammadi faces decades-long sentences for activism amid Iran's crackdown that has arrested over 50,000, and she is currently on hunger strike in solitary confinement.
- On Monday, the Narges Foundation reported that Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi began a hunger strike in detention to protest her unlawful imprisonment and conditions, according to her family.
- During a memorial for Khosrow Alikordi, she was arrested in December while on furlough and was expected to return to prison soon, according to reports.
- A Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 2023, Narges Mohammadi has been sentenced to 36 years and spent most of the past two decades in Tehran's Evin prison.
- Restricted contact and scripted-call demands have left her family worried, as her medical history makes continued detention extremely dangerous, the foundation says.
- Supporters portray her as a political prisoner detained for advocating women's rights, and the foundation urged human rights organizations Wednesday to take practical actions to protect political prisoners.
