Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani considered that “granting imprisoned Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi the Nobel Peace Prize is a biased and political decision.”
Kanaani pointed out, in a statement, that “we note that the Nobel Committee awarded the Peace Prize to a person who was convicted of repeated violations of the laws and criminal acts,” adding, “We condemn this biased and political step.”
The head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Berit Reiss-Andersen, announced that “the Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi, imprisoned in Tehran, has won the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Andersen emphasized, “The award rewarded the 51-year-old activist and journalist for her battle against the oppression of women in Iran, and her struggle to encourage human rights and freedom for all.”
