Iranian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi was arrested in a "brutal" manner in Iran and must be released immediately, the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which awards the prize, said on Friday.
Mohammadi was awarded the award in 2023, following her three-decade campaign for women's rights and the abolition of the death penalty in Iran.
