"Narges Mohammadi: A Resilient Voice for Women's Rights in Iran"

Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian human rights campaigner, has spent much of the past two decades in and out of prison for her activism, including opposing capital punishment and the obligatory hijab. Despite being incarcerated and separated from her family, she remains defiant and believes that the protest movement that erupted in Iran one year ago against the Islamic republic is still alive. Mohammadi, who is serving a combined sentence of 10 years and nine months, is described as a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International. She continues to fight for democracy, equality, and freedom, even in the face of personal sacrifice.
