Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi has been handed further prison sentences of seven-and-a-half years by an Iranian court, her lawyer has said. The human rights activist was sentenced to six years for 'gathering and collusion', and one-and-a-half years for 'propaganda activities' by a court in the north-eastern city of Mashhad, Mostafa Nili announced on social media on Sunday. Mohammadi was arrested in December for making 'provocative remarks' at a memorial ceremony, Iranian authorities said at the time. Her family reported she was taken to hospital after being beaten during the arrest. The 53-year-old was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2023 for her activism against female oppression in Iran. Nili, who spoke to Mohammadi for the first time since 14 December, reported that she had also received a two-year ban on leaving the country and two years of exile to the eastern Khusf region. The Narges Foundation, which supports her, described the recent hearing as a 'sham' and stated she began a hunger strike on 2 February. Mohammadi's deteriorating health has raised significant concerns, and her family continues to advocate for her safety and rights amid harsh legal challenges. Her husband, Taghi Rahmani, mentioned that she offered no defense in court, believing the judiciary lacks legitimacy, while expressing worry about her treatment in detention.
