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

Narges Mohammadi’s Powerful Nobel Peace Prize Lecture and the Resilience of Iranian Women

In her poignant Nobel Peace Prize lecture, delivered by her children Kiana and Ali, Narges Mohammadi illuminated the determination of the Iranian people to dismantle the despotism and obstruction imposed by the Islamic Republic’s regime. Despite being unable to accept the award in person due to her imprisonment, Mohammadi’s words resonated at the ceremony in Oslo, capturing the attention of notable attendees, including Nobel laureate Shireen Ebadi and former cellmate Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.

Mohammadi’s teenage twins, who accepted the award on her behalf, provided a heartbreaking glimpse into their reality—having not seen their mother for years. Their acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize symbolized the sacrifices made by activists and their families in the pursuit of justice and human rights.

The Nobel Committee honored Mohammadi for her relentless fight against the oppression of women in Iran, emphasizing her commitment to human rights and freedom for all. In her opening lines, Mohammadi positioned herself as one of the millions of proud and resilient Iranian women who resist oppression, discrimination, and tyranny.
