Narges Mohammadi “was sentenced to six years in prison on charges of conspiracy and collusion, one and a half years for propaganda activities and, as an additional penalty, a travel ban for two years”, her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, announced this Sunday in a post on the social network
An Iranian court sentenced Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to seven and a half years in prison on charges of conspiracy and propaganda against the regime, in what is the eighth sentence against the activist.
Narges Mohammadi “was sentenced to six years in prison on charges of conspiracy and collusion, one and a half years for propaganda activities and, as an additional penalty, a two-year travel ban”, her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, announced this Sunday in a post on the social network X.
The journalist awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023, who returned to prison in December, had started a hunger strike a week ago, demanding “the right to make a phone call”, to “have access to lawyers in Iran” and to receive visits, lawyer Chirinne Ardakani said at the time, from Paris.
The last telephone call with the family was on December 14th and they were informed of the hunger strike by a recently released prisoner, the lawyer said.
In January, Narges Mohammadi reported a pressure operation carried out by Tehran authorities on his brother’s house in the Iranian city of Mashhad.
In a statement released on January 22 by the X network, the foundation named after the Nobel Peace Prize laureate said it was aware that security agents invaded the family’s home in Mashhad and carried out a search of the residence.
In the text published on the activist’s profile, the foundation states that this attack is part of the growing and continuous pressure exerted on Narges Mohammadi’s family in recent months.
The Efe news agency reported at the time, citing sources who declined to be identified, that Narges Mohammadi’s detention has been marked by beatings and denial of medical assistance, which, especially given his history of heart problems, has put his life in serious danger.
In the same context, one of the recently released detainees from the Mashhad Intelligence Detention Center described the physical state of Narges Mohammadi and his companion, Pouran Nazemi, as “alarming”.
