Iran Arrests Nobel Peace Prize Winner Narges Mohammadi

Iranian security forces arrested Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi on Friday (12), during a ceremony in memory of a deceased lawyer, as reported by her supporters. Mohammadi, along with other activists, was taken into custody ‘violently.’ The Nar Foundation, an organization that aims to promote human rights in Iran, expressed deep concern over Mohammadi’s arrest. The details surrounding the arrest and the reasons behind it remain unclear. Mohammadi is a well-known human rights activist in Iran, having faced persecution and imprisonment in the past for her advocacy work. Her arrest has sparked international outcry and calls for her immediate release. Supporters and organizations around the world are monitoring the situation closely and urging Iranian authorities to respect human rights and release Mohammadi and the other activists detained. The Iranian government has not issued a statement regarding Mohammadi’s arrest or the other detained activists. The situation is evolving rapidly, and concerns are growing over the safety and well-being of Mohammadi and others in custody.
