PARIS/OSLO: The award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Iranian women’s rights advocate Narges Mohammadi will further encourage her struggle and the movement she leads, her husband told Reuters on Friday, Oct 6.
“This Nobel Prize will embolden Narges’ fight for human rights, but more importantly, this is in fact a prize for the woman, life and freedom (movement),” Mohammadi’s husband Taghi Rahmani said in an interview at his home in Paris.
