The Human Rights Defenders Association Awards Human Rights Statue to Narges Mohammadi

The Human Rights Defenders Association of Iran, coinciding with the commemoration of Cyrus the Great Day (November 7), awarded the Human Rights Statue to Narges Mohammadi, a imprisoned human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Mohammad Seifzadeh, the vice president of the Human Rights Defenders Association, along with a group of civil activists, visited the home of Narges Mohammadi's parents in Zanjan on Friday, November 5, to honor the efforts of the spokesperson of the Human Rights Defenders Association. This lawyer emphasized the significance of the Nobel Peace Prize received by Shirin Ebadi and Narges Mohammadi, both members of the Human Rights Defenders Association, describing the mission of this association as raising awareness among the people. Mohammad Seifzadeh expressed hope for the freedom of all political prisoners in Iran and the establishment of 'freedom, peace, and tranquility' in the future of the country. The vice president of the Human Rights Defenders Association stated, 'We are waiting for the day when there are no political prisoners in Iran.' The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Narges Mohammadi, a political and civil activist imprisoned in Evin Prison, in October of this year, was met with widespread support from Iranian activists and the global community, as well as criticism from the Islamic Republic. Additionally, U.S. President Joe Biden regarded the awarding of this prize to Narges Mohammadi as a sign of appreciation for her and the global acknowledgment of her call for freedom and equality. The anger expressed by Islamic Republic officials over the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Narges Mohammadi has been noted. A group of political and civil activists stated that Narges Mohammadi's Nobel Prize is a valuable opportunity for saving the country. United Nations experts have called for the immediate release of Narges Mohammadi from prison. Narges Mohammadi rejected mandatory hijab; Mostafa Nili stated: 'They did not allow visits.'
