Nobel committee condemns 'brutal' arrest of peace laureate Mohammadi in Iran

The Norwegian Nobel Committee condemned Friday's "brutal" arrest in Iran of activist Narges Mohammadi, winner of the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize, and called for her unconditional release.

"The Norwegian Nobel Committee is deeply concerned by today's brutal arrest of Narges Mohammadi alongside a number of other activists," the committee said in a statement.

Mohammadi "is a staunch defender of human rights, freedom of expression and democratic participation in Iran", it added.
