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. This development coincides with Iran's ongoing negotiations with the United States regarding its nuclear program, as the country asserts its strength in resisting external pressures. Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023.
