Learn more about 2023 Nobel Peace Prize Recipient Narges Mohammadi

The Bush Institute's Struggle for Freedom series points the spotlight on democracy and human rights activists across the globe – and why we should support them. Earlier this year, we featured Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi, who advocates for women despite currently being imprisoned for alleged national security offenses.

Today, Mohammadi was awarded the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize for her work promoting human rights and freedom. The Bush Institute stands behind Mohammadi and others like her who have been imprisoned unjustly.
