Iranian activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi shares her story in memoir

Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian human rights activist and 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has published a memoir written in prison and smuggled out in fragments. The book recounts her struggle against repression and gender discrimination, and shows the personal cost of challenging Iran’s authorities.

In “A Woman Never Stops Fighting”, Mohammadi describes her early activism, repeated arrests and imprisonment, including interrogations, beatings and denial of medical care. She has been sentenced to more than 44 years in prison and 154 lashes, and has been separated from her twin children for over a decade. The memoir has been published in German; an English edition is due in September 2027.
