Tehran (Monitoring Desk): Iranian human rights activist and Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi has been sentenced to an additional seven-and-a-half years in prison.
According to Reuters, the Narges Foundation reported that the 53-year-old activist received the sentence for her three-decade-long struggle for women’s rights. Mohammadi recently ended a one-week hunger strike and informed her lawyer by phone about her situation in prison.
The sentence includes six years for assembly and conspiracy against national security, one-and-a-half years for propaganda against the government, two years of internal exile in the Iranian city of Khusf, and a two-year travel ban. The Iranian Foreign Ministry has not commented on the matter.
