Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi says Iranians are paying the price for war
Mohammadi says war, sanctions and repression have deepened hardship, as her memoir is released in multiple languages and she describes continued defiance.
- On Friday, Nobel Peace Prize recipient Narges Mohammadi told The Associated Press that Iranians face compounding crises, with ongoing war and economic misery leaving "no room for people to breathe."
- Mohammadi, 54, has received sentences totaling 44 years and spent 10 years in prison, including 161 days in solitary confinement, before her release on bail for medical reasons earlier this year.
- Her memoir, "A Woman Never Stops Fighting," is being released this month in multiple languages, while she traces current defiance to 2022 protests following the death of Mahsa Amini.
- Despite intensifying repression, Mohammadi said a new younger generation "know their rights" and are standing firm, which provides "reason for hope" amid the nation's authoritarianism and conflict.
- Recalling childhood memories of the Iran-Iraq war and the 2025 bombing of Evin, she emphasized a lifelong "hatred for war" that shapes her view of Iran's ongoing crises.
