The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi in recognition of her tireless efforts to combat the oppression of women in Iran and promote human rights and freedom for all, according to the awards committee. Despite facing tremendous personal sacrifices, including multiple arrests, convictions, and a 31-year prison sentence with 154 lashes, Mohammadi’s brave struggle remains an inspiration. Her husband, Taghi Rahmani, expressed the belief that the Nobel Prize will further embolden Mohammadi’s fight for human rights and serve as a powerful recognition of the women’s rights, life, and freedom movement.
The announcement of Mohammadi’s Nobel Peace Prize win comes after much speculation surrounding the potential recipients. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian dissident Alexei Navalny were among the frontrunners for this prestigious award.
Notable past recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize include the European Union for its role in advancing peace, democracy, and human rights in Europe, former U.S. President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts in strengthening international diplomacy, and Nelson Mandela and Frederik Willem de Klerk for their work in peacefully ending apartheid and establishing a new democratic South Africa.
The Nobel prizes, established in 1895 through the will of inventor, entrepreneur, and businessman Alfred Nobel, have been recognizing outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace since 1901.
