Jailed Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi wins Nobel peace prize

"I will never stop striving for the realisation of democracy, freedom and equality," she said in a statement released after the announcement.

"Surely, the Nobel peace prize will make me more resilient, determined, hopeful and enthusiastic on this path, and it will accelerate my pace."

Mohammadi, one of Iran's leading human rights activists, has campaigned for women's rights and the abolition of the death penalty and an improvement of prison conditions inside Iran.

She is serving multiple sentences in Tehran's Evin prison amounting to about 12 years' imprisonment, according to the rights organisation Front Line Defenders, the latest of the many periods she has been detained. Charges against her include spreading propaganda against the state.
