Despite the imprisonment, psychological torture, constant solitary confinement, and sentence after sentence, Narges Mohammadi, the jailed Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner, remains determined to fight for human rights. In a letter smuggled out from prison and published by Swedish public broadcaster SVT, Mohammadi declared that she will stand up for freedom and equality even if it costs her life. The letter, written in response to questions that were smuggled into the prison, expressed Mohammadi's unwavering commitment to her cause.

Although details of the exchange were not revealed, SVT reported that the letter emphasized Mohammadi's resilience in the face of adversity. She began a hunger strike in November to protest the prison's failure to provide her with medical care. In the brief comments published by SVT, Mohammadi also expressed her longing for her children, Kiana and Ali. It has been more than eight years since she last saw them, and she revealed that the family has had no direct contact for over a year and nine months. Before that, they would occasionally speak on the phone, but that communication has also ceased.

Despite her absence, Mohammadi's children, Ali and Kiana Rahman, will represent her at this year's Nobel festivities in Oslo and Stockholm. The Nobel Foundation has confirmed that they will receive Mohammadi's diploma and gold medal at Oslo's City Hall and give the Nobel Prize lecture on her behalf. Mohammadi's unwavering determination to fight for human rights shines through her letter. While imprisoned and subjected to various forms of abuse, she remains resolute in her commitment to freedom and equality. Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices many activists make in their pursuit of justice and rights for all.
