When the Nobel Prizes were presented at Oslo’s City Hall, Norway, on Sunday, December 10, 2023, Narges Mohammadi, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this year, was absent.
Nargis was thousand of miles away, in an Iranian prison, imprisoned by Tehran’s tyrannical ayatollahs for her campaign against the oppression of women in the so-called Islamic republic and the fight for human rights and freedom for all.
The 51 year old was sentenced to 16 years’ imprisonment for establishing a human rights movement for the abolition of the death penalty in May 2016.
Though she was released in 2020, Nargis was sent back to prison in 2021.
Her teenage twins, Kiana and Ali Rahmani, accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf.
