Iranian Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi Sentenced to Additional Prison Term Amid Protests
Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has been sentenced to an additional seven and a half years in prison. This follows her recent arrest during a memorial ceremony in Mashhad, where she was accused of making provocative remarks. Mohammadi, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 while imprisoned, has been a vocal critic of the Iranian regime. Her recent arrest and sentencing come amid widespread protests in Iran, which have been met with a severe crackdown by the authorities. Mohammadi's health is reportedly deteriorating, and she has been accused of 'cooperating with the government of Israel' and has received death threats from security forces.
