Iran Arrests Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Narges Mohammadi, Supporters Say
NegativeWorld Affairs
- Narges Mohammadi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has been arrested by Iranian authorities during a memorial event for human rights lawyer Khosro Alikordi in Mashhad. Supporters reported that her detention was violent, and there has been no immediate official comment from Iran regarding her arrest.
- Mohammadi's arrest is significant as she is a prominent figure advocating for human rights in Iran, and her detention raises concerns about the ongoing repression of activists and dissenters in the country, especially following her recognition on an international stage.
- This incident reflects a broader pattern of crackdowns on civil liberties in Iran, where recent arrests of marathon organizers for allowing women to compete without hijabs further illustrate the strict enforcement of dress codes and the government's intolerance towards challenges to its authority.
