The Peace Laureate in prison: "Will not stop me"
In a smuggled letter from Evin Prison in Iran, Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi describes for SVT Nyheter an existence of psychological torture and constant placement in solitary confinement.
"It hasn't stopped and won't stop me," she writes.
Among other things, she has been denied care, because she refuses to wear a hijab. A press spokesperson has previously stated that fluid has collected around her heart and that the esophagus is severely inflamed.
Mohammadi writes to SVT that she will stand up for freedom and equality, if it costs her life.
