"The Norwegian #Nobel committee has decided to award the 2023 Nobel peace prize to #NargesMohammadi for her fight against the oppression of women in #Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all,” the committee said in its citation.
As much as I like and respect her, I honestly don't think she was the best candidate for the prize. Nasrin Sotudeh the lawyer and human rights activist would have been a much more worthy of the prize, but sadly the mod in the west is just focus on women in Iran and not the advocate who has lost almost everything in her fight against juvenile cases and #DeathPenalty against them and others.
Unfortunately #NasrinSotuddh is not in line with the propaganda of the west against #Iran and her tireless fight doesn't have the popularity of the one fighting for women's rights.
Any way, I am so happy for her to win this prize and I hope it doesn't change her into yet another pawn in the selective human rights concerns of naive public and charlatans like Alinejad and Pahlavi.
