Iran has sentenced Nobel Peace Prize winner Nargis Mohammadi to more than 7 years in prison after she started a hunger strike. Supporters gave this information on Sunday (February 8). After nationwide protests and the death of thousands of people at the hands of security forces, Tehran is trying to suppress every dissent.
According to the report of APTN News, this decision against Mohammadi has come at a time when Iran is trying to negotiate with America regarding its nuclear program to avert a possible military attack by US President Donald Trump. Iran’s top diplomat insisted on Sunday that Tehran’s strength comes from its ability to say no to great powers. His extremist stance has come to light just after the talks with America in Oman.
What did Mohammadi’s lawyer tell?
Lawyer Mustafa Neeli confirmed the sentencing in a post on X, saying that the verdict was delivered on Saturday by a revolutionary court in Mashhad city. Such courts usually deliver verdicts without giving the accused little or no opportunity to rebut their allegations. He wrote, “He has been sentenced to 6 years on charges of mobilizing people and hatching a conspiracy, and on charges of propaganda, he has been sentenced to one and a half years in prison and a travel ban for 2 years.”
The lawyer said that he has been sentenced to two years of internal exile in the city of Khosf, located about 740 kilometers south-east of the capital Tehran. Mohammadi’s supporters say that Mohammadi is on hunger strike since February 2. He was arrested in December at a ceremony to honor Khasro Alikordi, a 46-year-old Iranian lawyer and human rights activist who lives in Mashhad. Footage of the protest shows them shouting and demanding justice for Alicordi and others.
Released due to medical reasons
Months before his arrest in December, supporters had warned that Mohammadi, 53, was at risk of being sent back to jail in December 2024 after a three-week leave for medical reasons. Although this leave was only for three weeks, the period of Mohammadi’s release from jail was extended. She remained out of jail even during the 12-day war between Iran and Israel in June.
Mohammadi continued his activism through protests and international media appearances, including once demonstrating in front of Tehran’s notorious Evin prison, where he was held. Mohammadi was serving a prison sentence of 13 years and 9 months on charges of collusion against state security and propaganda against the Iranian government.
Supported the demonstrations after the death of Mahsa Amini
She also supported the nationwide protests that broke out after the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, in which women openly protested against the government by not wearing hijab. Mohammadi’s supporters say he suffered multiple heart attacks while in prison and underwent emergency surgery in 2022.
