The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded this Friday to Narges Mohammadi.
According to the committee, the choice of this activist, vice president of the Center for Human Rights Defenders, was due to “her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all.”
The winner is serving a 16-year prison sentence and has been repeatedly harassed, arrested and mistreated for defending human rights in Iran.
“I don’t know how to write about the suffering and pain caused to my family. When I went to prison, I was a healthy person, but when I left prison, I was fragile and overcome by a disease for which I cannot find a cure or remedy,” wrote Narges Mohammadi in 2011, condemning the lack of conditions in an Iranian prison where he was kept.
The human rights activist regularly warned and criticized the “deplorable” situation facing prisoners in Iran and signed dozens of articles about the abuse and torture they suffered despite serious heart problems.
In 2022, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Ales Bialiatsky from Belarus, human rights organizations Memorial from Russia, and the Center for Civil Liberties from Ukraine.
