Iran Extends Imprisonment of Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi

The Iranian activist faces an additional six-month sentence amid concerns over her health and continued protests against government policies.

Narges Mohammadi, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, received an additional six-month prison sentence for 'disobeying and resisting orders' in Evin Prison.
The new charge follows Mohammadi's protest against the execution of a fellow political prisoner in the women's ward of the prison.
Mohammadi, known for her advocacy against the death penalty and mandatory hijab laws, has been repeatedly imprisoned since 1998.
Concerns for Mohammadi's health have been raised by activists, citing her deteriorating condition and lack of medical care in prison.
Her Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 highlighted her leadership during significant protests in Iran, challenging the country's theocratic regime.
