For decades, Narges Mohammadi has been a vocal advocate for women and girls in Iran. This @NobelPrize is a well-deserved recognition of her courage, and the hope that she represents—not only for the women in Iran, but for women fighting repression and violence around the world.
An open letter from 22 courageous political prisoners and fellow inmates of Narges Mohammadi in Tehran's Evin Prison, dated October 7, 2023, in celebration of her Nobel Peace Prize victory. 🕊️
“Narges Mohammadi, our fellow prisoner, friend, comrade, and sister, has been honored with the Nobel Peace Prize. As witnesses to her unwavering dedication in the struggle for freedom and equality, we are filled with joy and pride for her well-deserved recognition. Congratulations to Narges, her family, Ali, Kiana, and all of us. While no single award can encapsulate her profound impact or that of any freedom and equality advocate, this Nobel Peace Prize acknowledges Narges’ years of tireless activism and amplifies the voice of Iran's justice-seeking society to the world, marking a significant step toward enlightenment."
“Now entrusted with a grave responsibility, Narges is called upon to protect human rights, not just for today but also to shape the future interpretations within Iranian society."
“Throughout history, it is the activists and fighters who have breathed life into awards and accolades. Today, we take pride in our sister and comrade Narges, who has infused the Nobel Peace Prize with the color of sacrifice, reflecting the pain of grieving mothers in the year of the Jina Movement (Mahsa Amini)."
