Highlighting the government-sponsored murder of jina-Mahsa Amini and the Women, Life, Freedom protests, the Norwegian Nobel Committee added: "By awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Narges Mohammadi, the Norwegian Nobel Committee aims to honor her courageous struggle for human rights, freedom, and democracy in Iran. This year's Peace Prize also acknowledges the hundreds of thousands of people who demonstrated last year against the theocratic regime's discriminatory policies and oppression of women."
