Nobel peace prize laureate Narges Mohammadi arrested in Iran
NegativeWorld Affairs

- Narges Mohammadi, the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was violently detained by Iranian security forces during a memorial event in Mashhad for human rights lawyer Khosro Alikordi. Her foundation reported that she was arrested alongside other activists, raising concerns for her wellbeing following her recent temporary release from prison on medical grounds.
- This incident highlights the ongoing repression of activists in Iran, particularly those advocating for women's rights and human rights. Mohammadi's prominence as a Nobel laureate amplifies the international scrutiny on Iran's treatment of dissenters.
- The arrest of Mohammadi occurs amid a broader crackdown on civil liberties in Iran, as seen in recent arrests of marathon organizers for allowing women to compete without hijabs. These events reflect a pattern of state violence against those challenging restrictive social norms and underscore the precarious situation for activists in the country.
