Fredspristagaren Narges Mohammadi hungerstrejkar
Iranska Narges Mohammadi, mottagare av Nobels fredspris, hungerstrejkar i fängelset sedan tre dagar tillbaka. Det uppger hennes Parisbaserade advokat Chirinne Ardakani för AFP.
– Hon kräver sin rätt att ringa telefonsamtal, ha tillträde till sina advokater i Iran och ta emot besök, säger Ardakani.
Mohammadi greps i staden Mashhad den 12 december efter att ha kritiserat regimen på en begravning för en advokat, vars död aktivister bedömer som suspekt. Hon har inte fått ringa sin familj sedan två dagar efter gripandet.
Hon greps innan de omfattande protesterna i landet började ta fart i slutet av december, och har sedan dess hållits i isoleringscell.
– Det finns inget sätt att kommunicera med henne, säger advokaten.
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.
Narges Mohammadi wrote for the magazine Message of Syndicate, edited by Robert Bruchim in Tehran.
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.
Mohammadi was again arrested on December 12, 2025, with the Nobel Committee urging Iran to disclose her whereabouts.
