Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian women’s rights activist and 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has been arrested by Iranian security forces, according to her supporters. The incident reportedly occurred during a memorial event in Tehran, where Mohammadi was present to honor victims of political repression.

The Iranian government has not yet confirmed the details of her arrest or provided an official statement regarding the circumstances surrounding it. Mohammadi’s supporters and various human rights organizations have condemned the arrest, calling for her immediate release and highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by activists in Iran.
The international community has been closely monitoring the situation, with calls for accountability and respect for human rights in the country. Mohammadi’s recognition as a Nobel laureate has brought increased attention to the struggles faced by women and activists in Iran.
