Narges Mohammadi to be Tried for Her Third Case; Ministry of Intelligence Requests Her Exile

According to Narges Mohammadi's Instagram page, managed by her close associates, the first trial of this political prisoner after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize will be held at 10 AM on December 19 in Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court. The report states that on December 10, the day the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded, Mohammadi was summoned to the women's ward and informed via a notice that her trial would take place at 10 AM on December 19 in Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court, presided over by Iman Afshari. Simultaneously, a notice from the Security Prosecutor's Office of District 33, issued at the request of the 'Ministry of Intelligence,' stated that 'due to political and security issues,' the execution of her sentence should take place outside Tehran. According to the same report, this is Mohammadi's third trial due to her recent activities in prison and her transmission of statements and writings outside the prison, which will be held in the Revolutionary Court. In her two previous cases, this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner was sentenced to '27 months in prison and 4 months of street cleaning and sanitation,' and the third trial is set for December 19. Meanwhile, since December 8, prison officials have informed her of the suspension of phone calls and visits. In her previous cases, Mohammadi had refused to attend her court sessions, stating that she does not recognize the Revolutionary Court. The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in a formal ceremony on Sunday, December 10, in Oslo, Norway, in the absence of Narges Mohammadi, who is imprisoned, and was presented to her twin children on her behalf. In this ceremony, which was broadcast live by the Persian section of Voice of America, Kiana and Rahmani, Mohammadi's 17-year-old twin children, read a message from this human rights defender for the attendees. The Nobel Peace Prize winner, in this message, expressed solidarity with 'the brave women and men of Iran' and hoped for 'the light of freedom and justice to shine upon Iran,' emphasizing that 'I extend my hand to all forces, movements, and personalities striving for peace, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and democracy.' Narges Mohammadi emphasized that the Islamic Republic is a 'religious tyranny' and an 'anti-woman' government, stressing the necessity of strengthening civil society in Iran and the international community's support for it. In this message, read by her children Kiana and Ali, she emphasized that currently 'the Islamic Republic regime has the least popular legitimacy' and thus responds to the people's demands with suppression, killings, executions, and imprisonment. Following the awarding of the Nobel Prize to Narges Mohammadi, many calls for her release arose from inside and outside Iran, but these requests went unanswered, and she remains in prison. Hours before the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, Narges Mohammadi, who was deprived of her right to visit and make phone calls as a punitive measure in prison, announced that 'on Human Rights Day, in protest against the blatant and widespread violation of human rights in Iran' and in solidarity with the hunger strike of Mahvash Sabet and Fariba Kamalabadi, Baha'i women prisoners in Evin protesting the violation of the civil rights of Baha'is, she would go on a hunger strike. Narges Mohammadi is the second Iranian woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, the first being Shirin Ebadi, a lawyer and legal expert who received the award twenty years ago in 2003.
