Event Summary

Narges Mohammadi, an imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate in Iran, is experiencing worsening health due to a beating during her arrest two months ago and pre-existing heart and pulmonary conditions. Her husband, Taghi Rahmani, reported that she was assaulted by security forces during a memorial in Mashhad. She has since been sentenced to an additional seven years in prison by a Revolutionary Court, extending her previous 13-year sentence for charges related to state security and propaganda against the Iranian government. Mohammadi began a hunger strike in prison and has had limited access to her lawyer, Mostafa Nili. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has condemned her 'life-threatening mistreatment'. This event occurs amidst a broader government crackdown on nationwide protests in Iran, which has resulted in thousands of deaths and arrests.
