Iran Adds to Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi's Prison Sentence

Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been sentenced to an additional 15 months in prison, along with two years of exile, a travel ban, and restrictions on social-political activities and smartphone use. This is her fifth conviction since 2021 and her third while incarcerated. The sentencing comes amidst denial by the Iranian government of widespread allegations of sexual assaults against detainees, and follows the temporary release on bail of two journalists who covered the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini.
