Narges Mohammadi was awarded the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize "for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all."

Mohammadi has been imprisoned 13 times and convicted five times.

Jailed Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee, which is responsible for selecting the Nobel Peace Prize recipients each year, decided to award this year’s prize to Mohammadi, 51, “for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all.”

“Her brave struggle has come with tremendous personal costs,” the committee said in a statement on Friday.

Along with the notoriety, Mohammadi will receive a cash award of 11 million Swedish krona, or about $998,850.
