Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi was abruptly transferred to a prison in Zanjan, northern Iran, without prior notice to her family or lawyer. Mohammadi, arrested in December 2023 after speaking out against the Iranian government, had been held in Mashhad. Her husband and foundation believe the transfer is intended to exile and displace her. Since her arrest, she has had limited contact with family and her lawyer, who reports she suffered physical abuse during her arrest, resulting in injuries. Mohammadi, who has been repeatedly imprisoned for her activism against capital punishment and mandatory dress codes, recently received additional prison sentences on charges of harming national security and propaganda.
