Jailed Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for her extensive efforts to promote human rights and freedom for all. The 51-year-old is the deputy director of the Defenders of Human Rights Center and currently remains lodged in Tehran’s Evin Prison. She has been imprisoned 13 times and convicted five times – a cumulative prison sentence of 31 years.Mohammadi’s most recent incarceration began after she attended a memorial for Mahsa Amini. The 22-year-old’s death in police custody had sparked a massive wave of outrage and widespread demonstrations against Iran’s regime last year.
