Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi has been handed additional prison sentences totaling seven-and-a-half years by an Iranian court, her lawyer announced on Sunday. The human rights activist was sentenced to six years for 'gathering and collusion' and one-and-a-half years for 'propaganda activities' by a court in the northeastern city of Mashhad. Mohammadi was arrested in December 2024 for making 'provocative remarks' at a memorial ceremony for lawyer Khosrow Alikordi, who was found dead in his office earlier that month. Her family reported that she was beaten during the arrest and taken to the hospital. The 53-year-old activist, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 for her work against female oppression in Iran, has been a vocal critic of the Iranian regime. Her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, stated that she was also given a two-year ban on leaving the country and a two-year exile to the eastern Khusf region. The Narges Foundation, which supports her, described the hearing as a 'sham' and revealed that she had begun a hunger strike on February 2. Nili mentioned that Mohammadi was taken to the hospital three days prior due to her poor physical condition before being returned to detention. He also noted that the phone call was disconnected when she started explaining her arrest. Mohammadi's husband, Taghi Rahmani, said she refused to participate in the court proceedings, believing the judiciary lacks legitimacy. Her daughter, Kiana Rahmani, expressed grave concern for her mother's well-being. Mohammadi has already spent over a decade in prison and is currently serving a 13-year sentence for 'propaganda activity against the state' and 'collusion against state security,' charges she denies. The latest sentence brings her total prison time to 44 years, according to the Narges Foundation. The arrest occurred as she attended a memorial for Alikordi, whose death has been deemed suspicious by Norway-based group Iran Human Rights, which has called for an independent inquiry. Eyewitnesses reported that Mohammadi was attacked by around 15 plainclothes agents during the memorial event. Mashhad prosecutor Hasan Hematifar claimed that Mohammadi and Alikordi's brother encouraged attendees to chant 'norm-breaking slogans' and 'disturb the peace.'
