Narges Mohammadi
In May 2016, she was sentenced in Tehran to 16 years' imprisonment for setting up and running "a human rights movement that campaigns for the abolition of the death penalty." She was let out in 2020 but sent back to prison in 2021, where she has since given reports of the abuse and solitary confinement of women prisoners. Amnesty International said she was a prisoner of conscience and called for her immediate release. Reporters Without Borders issued an appeal on Mohammadi's behalf on the ninth anniversary of photographer Zahra Kazemi's death in Evin Prison, stating that Mohammadi was a prisoner whose life was "in particular danger."
