A revolutionary court sentenced him to seven and a half years in prison for several charges of conspiracy and propaganda against the system, in the tenth sentence against him.
“She was sentenced to six years in prison on charges of congregation and collusion.to a year and a half in prison for propaganda activity, and as a complementary sentence, a two-year ban on leaving the country,” his lawyer Mostafa Nili reported this Sunday in X.
The lawyer explained that this morning he received a call from the activist in her first communication in 59 days in detention in which she informed him that yesterday she was transferred to the first room of the Revolutionary Court of Mashad (northeast) and after the hearing a sentence was handed down against her.
He said that Mohammadi also informed him that three days ago she was taken to a hospital due to her poor health and that when she began to tell him the circumstances of her arrest the call was cut off.
Nili indicated that since the sentence has been passed, the activist should be transferred to a prison, according to Iranian law, and that in his opinion she should be released.
“In view of his illnesses, it is expected that his temporary release on bail will be ordered so that he can receive medical treatment,” the lawyer said.
Mohammadi was violently detained in mid-December along with other activists during a funeral ceremony for a lawyer in the northeastern city of Mashad, according to her family.
The 2023 Nobel Peace Prize winner had been on parole since December 2024, when she was released due to medical problems, and at the end of November she reported that the Iranian authorities had “permanently” prohibited her from leaving the country and that they had not issued her a passport to be able to visit her two children, whom she had not seen for eleven years.
The activist has been arrested thirteen times, convicted nine times, and was last imprisoned in 2021.
Despite convictions and imprisonment, the human and women’s rights activist has continued to denounce violations of fundamental rights in Iran, including the use of the death penalty and violence against women who do not wear the Islamic headscarf.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the prestigious award to Mohammadi in 2023 “for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and to promote human rights and freedom for all.”
