Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi’s memoir details abuse in Iranian prison

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has released a new memoir, "A Woman Never Stops Fighting," detailing extensive abuse she has endured and witnessed within Iranian prisons. The book recounts experiences of beatings, prolonged solitary confinement, and systematic medical neglect during her numerous imprisonments. Mohammadi, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 while incarcerated, describes these harsh conditions as a form of torture.

The memoir further exposes constant interrogations, the deprivation of essential medical care, and psychological torment that she and other female prisoners have faced. Her writings from behind bars, often smuggled out, highlight the severe human rights violations prevalent in Iran's detention facilities. Mohammadi continues her activism despite the profound personal cost, including being repeatedly arrested and sentenced to decades in prison.

Currently serving a lengthy sentence, Mohammadi faces ongoing repercussions for her advocacy and exposés. Her defiance, even while imprisoned, underscores her commitment to shedding light on the plight of political prisoners and advocating for human rights in Iran.
