Narges Foundation

The Narges Foundation is an organization that supports Iranian human rights activist and 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi. Mohammadi, known for her advocacy for women's rights, has faced repeated imprisonment in Iran due to her activism. The foundation's relevance stems from Mohammadi's ongoing legal battles and imprisonment. She was recently sentenced to an additional seven and a half years in prison on charges including "gathering and collusion", following her arrest in December while attending a memorial ceremony. This recent sentencing, along with her prior imprisonment and hunger strike, keeps Mohammadi's case and the Narges Foundation's work in the international spotlight, highlighting the ongoing human rights concerns in Iran.
