Human rights activist and Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been sentenced to six years in prison in Iran, her lawyer says.

She has been convicted of participating in illegal gatherings and preparatory criminal activities.

In addition, she has been sentenced to an additional year and a half in prison for propaganda activities, according to lawyer Mostafa Nili.

The sentence also includes a two-year ban on leaving the country and a two-year exile to the province of South Khorasan in eastern Iran.

The 53-year-old Mohammadi was arrested in the city of Mashhad in December. By then, she had already spent much of the past ten years in an Iranian prison.

Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 for her fight for human rights in her homeland.
