The children of imprisoned Iranian human rights activist Nargiz Mohammadi received an award on her behalf. Mohammadi won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023.
According to the foreign TV channel Euronews, 17-year-old twins Ali and Kiana read out a speech that Mohammadi managed to convey from prison. The award was presented in Oslo — capital of Norway.
Mohammadi's daughter said on behalf of the human rights activist that Iranian society needs global support, and journalists are critical allies in the fight against the destructive tyranny of the government of the Islamic Republic.
