Welcoming the Nobel Committee’s Granting of the Peace Prize to Political Prisoner Narges Mohammadi, Urging Action to Secure Her Release

Congratulations to Mrs. Narges Mohammadi for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. Recalling the Iranian Resistance‘s repeated calls for her release, I once again urge the international community’s intervention to secure the release of Mrs. Mohammadi and other political prisoners, especially women.
Beyond the symbolic gestures, the time has come to adopt a decisive policy against the ruling regime and its oppressive measures against women. The world can no longer deny Iranian women’s role in the struggle against the clerical regime. We are facing a generation of combatant and rebellious women in Iran, many of whom are in prison.
