Iran's Nargis Mohammadi awarded Nobel Peace Prize 2023
Awards
Jailed activist Nargess Mohammadi won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran. She is the 19th woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize and the second Iranian woman after Shirin Ebadi won the prize in 2003. (6 October) Mohammadi, 51, has maintained his activism despite multiple arrests by Iranian authorities and years behind bars. She remains a leading light for the nationwide, women-led protests that erupted after the death of a 22-year-old woman in police custody last year, becoming one of the most acute challenges to Iran's democratic government.
