NobPeace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi arrested by Iranian regime

[IwantToRetire]

Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023, following her three-decade campaign for women's rights and the abolition of the death penalty in Iran.

She was arrested during a memorial service for a lawyer who died under suspicious circumstances, according to a report by Walla.
Mohammadi had previously served multiple sentences on charges including "spreading propaganda against the Islamic Republic."

Late last year, she was released from Tehran's notorious Evin Prison after her jail term was suspended to allow her to undergo medical treatment.

I'm sure there will be mass demonstrations in support of the oppressed people - notably the women - of Iran in all major cities, every week....

Extraordinary bravery. Thank you for posting.

Awful what women are subjected to. She's the very definition of "stunning and brave".

Apart from imprisonment itself, it is this cat and mouse game. ie allowed out, then re-arrested. I wonder how many other occassions something like this has happened.

Iran produces some of the best feminists ever. Raising a glass to the fall of the fall regime, and the liberation of its people.

Update 9 February 2026:

Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi has been handed further prison sentences of seven-and-a-half years by an Iranian court, her lawyer has said.

The human rights activist was sentenced to six years for "gathering and collusion", and one-and-a-half years for "propaganda activities" by a court in the north-eastern city of Mashhad, Mostafa Nili announced on social media on Sunday.
....
Mohammadi has already spent more than 10 years of her life in prison. The Narges Foundation says the latest sentence brings the total time she has been ordered to spend in prison to 44 years.
Since 2021, she has been serving a 13-year sentence for "propaganda activity against the state" and "collusion against state security", charges she denies.

The activist was given temporary release from Tehran's notorious Evin prison for three weeks in December 2024 on medical grounds.
She was expected to return to prison soon after, where she was serving multiple sentences.

The most recent arrest came as she attended a memorial for Khosrow Alikordi, a lawyer who had been found dead in his office in early December.
