Ammon – A foundation that supports Iranian activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, who was repeatedly imprisoned during her three-decade-long campaign for women’s rights, said that the activist was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison.
The Narges Foundation said in a statement that Mohammadi (53 years old) had been on a hunger strike for a week that ended today.
She added that Mohammadi told her lawyer, Mustafa Nili, in a phone call today from prison that the sentence was issued against her on Saturday.
Tehran renewed its campaign to suppress dissent during anti-government protests that began in late December and lasted nearly three weeks.
Mohammadi was arrested on December 12 after she denounced suspicions about the death of lawyer Khosrow Ali Kurdi.
Prosecutor Hassan Hemmatifar told reporters that she made provocative statements at Ali Kurdi’s memorial service in the northeastern city of Mashhad and urged those present to “chant slogans that violate norms” and “disrupt the peace.”
Mohammadi is in a detention center in the city of Mashhad.
The foundation said, “After weeks of complete isolation and a complete loss of communications, she was finally able to describe her situation during a short phone call with her lawyer.” “Reuters”
