Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi was sentenced to over seven additional years in prison, according to her supporters and lawyer. The sentence, issued by a Revolutionary Court in Mashhad on Saturday, includes six years for "gathering and collusion" and one and a half years for propaganda, along with a two-year travel ban. The sentencing occurred amidst Mohammadi's hunger strike and a broader crackdown on dissent in Iran following nationwide protests.

Iran sentenced Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to over seven more years in prison after she began a hunger strike, supporters said on Sunday, as Tehran cracks down on all dissent following nationwide protests and the deaths of thousands at the hands of security forces.The new convictions against Mohammadi, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023, come as Iran tries to negotiate with the United States over its nuclear programme to avert a threatened military strike by US President Donald Trump.Iran’s top diplomat insisted on Sunday that Tehran’s strength came from its ability to “say no to the great powers”, striking a maximalist position just after negotiations in Oman with the US.Mohammadi’s supporters cited her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, who spoke to Mohammadi.Nili confirmed the sentence on social media, saying it had been handed down on Saturday by a Revolutionary Court in the city of Mashha.“She has been sentenced to six years in prison for ‘gathering and collusion’ and one and a half years for propaganda and [a] two-year travel ban,” he wrote.
