Imprisoned women’s rights campaigner Narges Mohammadi has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, much to the disapproval of Tehran. The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised Mohammadi and the anti-government protesters in Iran, urging for her release and highlighting the fight for women’s rights. Tehran condemned the award, accusing the committee of bias and political motivation. Mohammadi, who has been detained multiple times, is serving a 12-year sentence in Evin Prison. She is the 19th woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The award comes amid reports of gender-based violence in Iran and calls for women’s rights. President Joe Biden has called for Mohammadi’s immediate release. Global organizations and leaders have also commended the Nobel Committee’s recognition of Mohammadi’s work.
