TL;DR Summary

Iranian Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi has been sentenced to an additional 15 months in prison, making it her fifth conviction since March 2021. Accused of spreading propaganda against the Islamic Republic, she has already spent 12 years in jail and faces a total of 31 years in prison. The verdict also orders her to spend two years in exile outside Tehran, bans her from traveling abroad and joining political or social groups, and prohibits her from having a mobile phone for two years.
