Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Iranian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Narges Mohammadi has been sentenced to a second prison sentence by the Iranian courts while still serving her first sentence.
Mohammadi, who accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 while in prison, was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for "gathering and collusion," and "propaganda activities" against the Islamic Republic Regime, her attorney announced Sunday.
Mohammadi was detained on Dec. 12 for making "provocative remarks." Her family said that during her arrest, she was beaten by Iranian authorities and had to be hospitalized.
Nili said in a statement that Mohammadi was sentenced at Branch 1 of the Mashhad Revolutionary Court. It was the first time she had spoken to her attorney since Dec. 14.
