Nobelpristagaren: Iran hotar att ”eliminera” mig
Aktivisten Narges Mohammadi, som fick Nobels fredspris 2023, har fått dödshot från Iran. Det uppger Nobelkommittén för nyhetsbyrån AFP.
Kommitténs ordförande Jørgen Watne Frydnes har talat i telefon med Mohammadi, som säger att Teheran försöker få henne att sluta förespråka demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter.
– Med hennes egna ord: Jag har blivit direkt och indirekt hotad med ’fysisk eliminering’ av regimens agenter, säger han.
bakgrund
Narges Mohammadi
Wikipedia (en)
Narges Mohammadi (Persian: نرگس محمدی; born 21 April 1972) is an Iranian human rights activist. She is the vice president of the Defenders of Human Rights Center (DHRC), headed by her fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Shirin Ebadi. Mohammadi has been a vocal proponent of mass feminist civil disobedience against the mandatory hijab in Iran and a vocal critic of hijab and chastity program of 2023. In May 2016, she was sentenced in Tehran to 16 years' imprisonment for "establishing and running the illegal splinter group Legam." She was released in 2020 but sent back to prison in 2021, where she has since given reports of the abuse and solitary confinement of detained women.
In October 2023, while in prison, she was awarded the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize "for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all." The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran condemned the decision.
It was reported on 19 November 2024 that Mohammadi underwent a complex surgery in Iran that saw part of a bone in her right leg removed over cancer fears but was immediately returned to prison, raising the risks to her life.
