Iran arrests Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi

JAKARTA - Iran has arrested Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi. She was detained during a memorial for a human rights lawyer who was recently found dead under disputed circumstances.

There was no immediate statement from Iran regarding the detention of Mohammadi, 53.

However, his supporters have warned previously, Mohammadi risks being jailed again after he was granted permission to leave prison in December 2024 due to health problems.

Although the permit only lasts for three weeks, Mohammadi's freedom from prison has been extended, perhaps because activists and Western powers are pushing Iran to keep him free.

He remained free even during the 12-day war in June between Iran and Israel.

English:

Mohammadi continued his activities with public protests and appearances in international media, including even demonstrating in front of Tehran's notorious Evin prison, where he was once held.
