Iran's human rights activist Narges Mohammadi receives additional prison sentence

Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has been sentenced to another year in prison for her activism, including making propaganda against the system. She was convicted for urging voters to boycott Iran's parliamentary election, sending letters to European lawmakers, and speaking out about torture and sexual assault suffered by another journalist. Mohammadi is held at Evin Prison and had her sentence extended to a total of 45 months. The Iranian government is reportedly angered by her Nobel Prize win and ongoing activism. Mohammadi has been a vocal advocate for women's rights in Iran, particularly against the mandatory hijab rule. She has faced multiple trials and harsh sentences for her activism, including calls to end the war in Gaza. Despite her imprisonment, Mohammadi continues to speak out for human rights and women's empowerment in Iran.
