Nobel Peace Prize Goes to Narges Mohammadi

[Ely1987]

Jailed Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi wins Nobel peace prize. She is in prison right now, with no way to communicate with the outside world, so she probably doesn't know it yet.

Mohammadi wins prize for her fight against oppression of women in Iran and to promote human rights for all.

Two years ago, in an interview with BBC, she said that she was raped in prison by the guards and interrogators, in a way similar to Mojgan Keshavarz, and that was only one of the tortures she experienced.

She has documented different tortures and mistreatment nearly all political prisoners have faced in Iran.

She is in prison right now, with no way to communicate with the outside world, so she probably doesn't know it yet.

"Narges Mohammadi vowed on Friday to stay in Iran and continue her activism, even if that means spending the rest of her life in prison. 'I will never stop striving for the realization of democracy, freedom and equality,' she said in a statement released after the Nobel announcement."
