Jailed Iranian Activist Wins Nobel Peace Prize

“The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to Narges Mohammadi, an imprisoned Iranian human rights activist. She is the fifth person to receive the prize while incarcerated,” the Washington Post reports.

“The prize will cast an international spotlight on the fight for women’s rights in the Middle Eastern nation, where women have taken to the streets in protest under the banner ‘Woman, Life, Freedom,’ following the death in custody of a young woman in September 2022.”
