Iran has sentenced Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to six years in prison, her lawyer said, in a case tied to allegations of collusion and propaganda.
The development was reported on Sunday with the lawyer stating that the court had issued the new prison term against Mohammadi. The sentence, as described by the lawyer, relates to charges commonly framed as acting in coordination with others and engaging in propaganda activities.
Mohammadi is internationally known for her activism and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The new sentence adds to the legal pressures faced by the Iranian activist, according to the information shared by her legal representative.
No additional details were provided in the lawyer’s statement about when the verdict was delivered, whether Mohammadi was present in court, or whether an appeal would be filed. The report also did not include comments from Iranian authorities on the lawyer’s account.
The case has drawn attention because of Mohammadi’s Nobel recognition and her profile as a prominent figure in Iran’s civil rights landscape. Her lawyer’s statement focuses on the length of the sentence and the categories of charges cited.
