Iran Sentences Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi to Additional Prison Time

Iran has sentenced Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to over seven more years in prison. The decision follows her recent hunger strike in detention, which she undertook in protest against her treatment. Mohammadi has faced multiple prison terms, with her current sentence extending her time behind bars significantly. Her lawyer has reported that she has been sentenced to a total of seven and a half years. As a prominent human rights activist, her ongoing imprisonment and additional sentences have garnered international concern and condemnation.
