Nargesz Mohammadi, an Iranian Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights activist, was attacked by plainclothes agents who beat her on the head and neck during her arrest. Her family reported that she was hospitalized twice due to the injuries. The Iranian authorities have not commented on the incident, stating she was detained for making 'provocative remarks' at a memorial in Mashhad. Mohammadi has spent over ten years in prison and was recently arrested after speaking at a memorial for another activist. The Norwegian Nobel Committee expressed deep concern over her 'brutal arrest' and called for her unconditional release. Teljes cikk (Telex.hu)
