Force in Play

Practicing in Iran

Narges Mohammadi has spent more time in Iranian prisons than with her own children. On February 8, 2026, the 53-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate received yet another sentence: six years for 'gathering and collusion,' plus 18 months for 'propaganda,' plus two years of internal exile to a remote eastern province. The verdict came while she was on her sixth day of a hunger strike, detained in an intelligence ministry facility in Mashhad after being beaten during her arrest at a memorial service two months earlier.
