Narges Mohammadi has been awarded Nobel Prize 2023 for her ‘fight to promote human rights’ on Friday.
Taking it to official social media handle, the organisation tweeted, “2023 #NobelPeacePrize laureate Narges Mohammadi’s brave struggle has come with tremendous personal costs. The Iranian regime has arrested her 13 times, convicted her five times, and sentenced her to a total of 31 years in prison and 154 lashes. Mohammadi is still in prison.”
2023 peace laureate Narges Mohammadi is a woman, a human rights advocate, and a freedom fighter, who also recognises the hundreds of thousands of people who have demonstrated against the theocratic regime’s policies of discrimination and oppression targeting women.
She fights for freedom of expression and the right of independence, and against rules requiring women to remain out of sight and to cover their bodies. The freedom demands expressed by demonstrators apply not only to women, but to the entire population.
Mohammadi also supports women’s struggle for the right to live full and dignified lives. This struggle across Iran has been met with persecution, imprisonment, torture and even death. In September 2022, Mahsa Jina Amini was killed in Iranian morality police’s custody, triggering political demonstrations against Iran’s regime.
The motto adopted by the demonstrators – “Woman – Life – Freedom” – suitably expresses the dedication and work of Narges Mohammadi.
On Thursday, Jon Fosse has been honoured with Nobel Prize for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable in Literature.
