Mohammadi Support Committee: human rights defender is between life and death

“We are now fighting not only for Narges’s freedom, we are fighting to ensure that her heart continues to beat,” Mohammadi’s representative, lawyer Shirin Ardakani, said at a press conference.

After her arrest in November 2021, the 54-year-old human rights activist began serving several sentences totaling 13 years and 9 months. In December 2024, she was temporarily released from prison for medical reasons for three weeks, but under pressure from Western countries she remained free for almost a year.

She was arrested on December 12, 2025 in Mashhad along with other activists after a ceremony in memory of human rights activist Khosrow Alikordi. She was sentenced to another six years in prison on charges of “information collection and conspiracy” and a year and a half “for propaganda.”
