It is Rasmus Hansson who has nominated her for the Nobel Peace Prize, which will be awarded on Friday. Narges Mohammadi From Iran Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Rasmus Hansson (MDG) From the foundation to the nomination: Represents hundreds of thousands of brave Iranians, women and men, who are now willing to risk everything to bring peace and freedom back to Iran. The democratic uprising against the religious dictatorship in Iran has no leaders, but Mohammadi has long led and openly demanded freedom of expression, women’s rights and democracy. For that he is now serving a very harsh sentence in an Iranian prison. Trained as a physicist, but best known as a journalist and human rights advocate. Claims it was a drop in blood pressure Human rights group Hengaw claims that the 16-year-old is in a coma after meeting with Iran’s morality police. The reason must be that she was not wearing a hijab when she was going to take the subway in Tehran. Surveillance video must show parts of the incident. The video shows a person being kicked out of the subway. The recording does not show what is supposed to have happened inside the subway. The video also does not clearly show whether the people in the video ask for headgear. The video has been published by both human rights activists and in state-run Iranian media. The surveillance video was published by the Iranian state news agency Irna. news cannot verify whether the video has been edited or cut in. The Iranian authorities claim that Armita suffered a drop in blood pressure and then hit her head in the subway. The Iranian embassy in Oslo wrote in an email to news on Thursday morning that Armita’s friends have said that she fainted as a result of low blood pressure, and that she was not in contact with the police. – Other than that, so-called human rights organizations try to provoke public opinion in and outside Iran by creating false narratives and stories. They will abuse every incident for their own political goals, they wrote. Says the mother has been arrested On Wednesday, the human rights group Hengaw wrote in a report that the girl’s parents were under “extreme control”. At the same time, regime-friendly media have conducted interviews with the girl’s parents. According to the state news agency Fars, the parents must have said that she was not attacked. The father is also said to have said that they had seen the videos “which show that it was an accident”. Several claimed that the parents of the 16-year-old girl were forced to talk, writes The Guardian. In a new report on Thursday, the human rights group claims that Armita’s mother has been arrested. The human rights group published a picture of what is supposed to show Armita lying in a coma in a military hospital. Photo: Hengaw An eyewitness described to The Guardian on Thursday that a female hijab guard allegedly started arguing with Armita shortly after she entered the subway. – The woman screamed at her and asked why she didn’t cover her head, the witness told the newspaper. – Armita then said to her: “Should I ask you to take off your headscarf? Why are you asking me to have one?”. The woman then began to attack Armita physically, says the witness. Another witness is said to have said that the woman was waiting by the ambulance that drove Armita to the hospital. news has asked the Iranian embassy in Oslo if they have a comment on Narges Mohammadi’s post and if they have any comments related to the report in which it appears that Armita’s mother is to be arrested. Draws parallels to Amini Recently, the authorities in the country have taken greater action against women and girls who break the strict Islamic dress codes. Now several well-known women’s activists in Iran are among those who could win the Nobel Peace Prize this year. – The incident, and the conflicting explanations, have drawn close parallels to Jina “Masha” Amini, writes The Guardian. Amini was arrested by the morality police for wearing the hijab the wrong way. She died while in police custody last year. This was only a few days after she was arrested. The death led to months of demonstrations against the authorities. Many women threw away their shawls and cut their hair in protest.
