Iran Regime ARRESTS Nobel Winner Again!

Map highlighting Iran with Tehran marked.

Iran’s brutal regime violently rearrests Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi just after her medical release, crushing free speech in a stark reminder of tyranny Americans must stand against under President Trump’s firm leadership.

Story Highlights

Plainclothes security forces detained Mohammadi and four other activists during a memorial for lawyer Khosrow Alikordi in Mashhad on December 12, 2025.
Mohammadi, conditionally freed in December 2024 for health reasons, spoke and led chants like “Long live Iran” before the violent arrest.
Alikordi’s death on December 5 remains suspicious, with officials claiming heart issues amid a pattern of targeting human rights defenders.
No information on detainees’ whereabouts or charges; supporters demand immediate release as regime claims “temporary” detention.

Violent Detention at Memorial Ceremony

On December 12, 2025, plainclothes security forces stormed a seventh-day memorial for human rights lawyer Khosrow Alikordi in Mashhad, Iran. They violently detained 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, along with Alieh Motalebzadeh, Sepideh Gholian, Hasti Amiri, and Pouran Nazemi. Mohammadi had delivered a speech and led chants including “Long live Iran.” Verified videos capture clashes between forces and attendees. This occurred days after Alikordi’s suspicious death on December 5, which prosecutors attribute to heart complications. Such suppression echoes Iran’s long-standing crackdown on dissent, contrasting sharply with freedoms President Trump champions for Americans.

Mohammadi’s Long Fight Against Oppression

Narges Mohammadi, born in 1972, serves as vice president of the Defenders of Human Rights Center. She has endured over 10 years in prison on charges like propaganda against the state and collusion with enemy powers, facing sentences totaling 13-31 years. Imprisoned in notorious Evin Prison from November 2021 to December 2024, she received conditional release after leg surgery for suspected cancer. Despite threats from the Ministry of Intelligence in July 2025, including reports of “physical elimination,” she continued activism, authoring a Time magazine piece decrying state violence. Her 2023 Nobel award highlights her battle against the death penalty and women’s rights abuses, values aligning with conservative defenses of individual liberty.

Key Activists and Regime’s Power Grab

Co-detainees include women’s rights defender and photojournalist Alieh Motalebzadeh, recently post-surgery after prior imprisonment; journalist Sepideh Gholian, visible in arrest videos; and defenders Hasti Amiri and Pouran Nazemi. Alikordi had defended 2022 protestors. The Paris-based Free Narges Coalition and Narges Foundation, citing Mohammadi’s brother Mehdi and husband Taghi Rahmani, condemn the “outrageous assault.” Mashhad Governor Hasan Hosseini calls detentions temporary for “norm-breaking slogans” and safety, denying murder claims. This power dynamic reveals regime coercion against networked activists, undermining assembly and press freedoms in Mashhad’s conservative setting.

Escalating Crackdown and Global Ramifications

Post-2022 protests, Iran intensifies harassment of figures like Mohammadi, with precedents including her 2015 16-year sentence and intensified post-Nobel scrutiny. Current status shows no detainee locations or charges, fueling calls for release. Short-term, this escalates fear among journalists, women’s groups, and civil society; long-term, it signals deeper repression, chilling advocacy and eroding international legitimacy. As President Trump prioritizes strong alliances against terror, this Iranian outrage boosts global campaigns while weakening human rights efforts inside the regime.

Uncertainties and Verified Facts

Reports confirm arrests via eyewitnesses and videos, with minor date variances (December 11-12). Alikordi’s death draws suspicion versus official heart failure claims. Supporters reject “protective” detention narratives. High credibility stems from cross-verified sources, though exact details on some co-detainees remain limited. President Trump’s America stands as a beacon against such tyranny, reminding us why rejecting globalist weakness fortifies defenses of freedom at home and abroad.
