Nobel Peace Prize for Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi

The Nobel Peace Prize was crowned on Friday by Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi, currently in a jail in the Islamic Republic where bare-headed women are blowing a wind of emancipation despite repression.

The 51-year-old activist and journalist is being rewarded “for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her struggle to promote human rights and freedom for all,” said the president of the Norwegian Nobel committee, Berit Reiss-Andersen , in Oslo.
