Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been sentenced to over seven additional years in prison in Iran, according to her lawyer, Mostafa Nili. The sentence, issued by a court in Mashhad on Saturday, includes six years for "gathering and collusion," one and a half years for propaganda, a two-year travel ban, and two years of internal exile. Mohammadi, already serving a 13-year sentence, was arrested in December at a memorial for a human rights advocate and has been on hunger strike since February 2nd. Her continued activism, including supporting protests sparked by Mahsa Amini's death, likely contributed to the new charges. The sentencing occurs amidst ongoing negotiations between Iran and the US regarding Iran's nuclear program.
