Golshifteh Farahani’s 14 Unforgettable Oslo Celebration and Nobel Peace Prize Triumph for Narges Mohammadi

The focal point of Mohammadi’s lecture was the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests that erupted across Iran in 2022 following the death of Mahsa Amini. She characterized the protests as a movement for fundamental change, sparking civil resistance across various sectors of Iranian society. Mohammadi’s unwavering belief in the Iranian people’s ability to dismantle obstruction and despotism through persistence echoed throughout her speech.

Despite the challenges faced by Iranian protesters, Mohammadi expressed disappointment in what she deemed a “lack of serious attention” from Western governments. She urged these governments to reconsider their strategies, emphasizing the need for a focus on empowering the Iranian people and promoting democracy in the region.

In a message of hope, Mohammadi confidently stated that the light of freedom and justice will shine on the land of Iran. Her son, Ali, closed the ceremony with a powerful declaration, leading to a standing ovation and chants of “Zan Zendegi Azadi,” the slogan of the recent protest movement.

As the international community reflects on Mohammadi’s words and the plight of Iranian women, the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony becomes a rallying point for advocates of freedom, democracy, and human rights. The sacrifices made by individuals like Narges Mohammadi serve as a poignant reminder that the struggle for these ideals is worth every sacrifice.
