Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi’s memoir details abuse in Iranian prison. She says she’s prepared for the consequences
- Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi released her memoir, "A Woman Never Stops Fighting," this month, detailing abuse and solitary confinement endured at Tehran's Evin prison during interviews with CNN on Wednesday.
- The Norwegian Nobel Committee stated in February that Mohammadi endured beatings and "life-threatening mistreatment" while imprisoned, losing 20 kilograms and facing "imminent danger" after medical neglect in March.
- Keeping prisoners in solitary confinement is "one of the government's tools" to "destroy a person," Mohammadi said, with denial of medical treatment being another method that "seriously endangers their health."
- With her children, Ali and Kiana, living in exile in France, Mohammadi described the book as the "words of a mother who wrote this book in prison," expressing doubt about the cost to her 19-year-old twins.
- Citing the courage of women in Tehran, Mohammadi views the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement, sparked by the 2022 death of 22-year-old Mahsa Jhina Amini, as a force that compelled government retreat.
