The lawyer for imprisoned Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi said the regime added another seven years and a half to her prison sentence on Saturday as part of its crackdown against dissidents in the wake of last month’s massive nationwide protests.
“She has been sentenced to six years in prison for ‘gathering and collusion’ and one and a half years for propaganda and two-year travel ban,” lawyer Mostafa Nili said on social media.
According to Nili, Mohammadi was also punished with two years of “internal exile” that would prevent her from leaving the city of Khosf after she eventually gets out of prison.
Mohammadi, 53, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 for her “fight against the oppression of women in Iran, and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all.”
Mohammadi had been arrested 13 times by that point and was imprisoned in Iran’s infamous Evin dungeon when her Nobel Prize was awarded. In a bitter twist of fate, she had been jailed in 2021 for “spreading propaganda against the state,” and one piece of “evidence” introduced against her by regime prosecutors was her nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021. She did not get the award for 2021, but she finally did become a Peace Prize laureate two years later.
