"Nobel Peace Prize awarded to imprisoned Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi"

Imprisoned Iranian women's rights activist Narges Mohammadi has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her three-decade-long campaign for women's rights and the abolition of the death penalty. The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised Mohammadi and the recent anti-government protests in Iran, calling for her release. The prize is likely to anger the Iranian government, which has labeled the protests as Western-led subversion. Mohammadi, who is serving a 12-year sentence, vowed to continue fighting for democracy and equality. She is the 19th woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize and the first since 2021.
