Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi is fighting for her life in prison, according to her supporters. Christophe Deloire from Reporters Without Borders stated that for the first time there is a real risk of death for the laureate. Mohammadi, a prominent human rights activist, has been imprisoned in Iran's Evin Prison since 2021 for her advocacy work opposing the country's mandatory hijab laws and supporting women's rights. She was awarded the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize while in detention for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her efforts to promote human rights and freedom for all.
