Groups slam re-arrest of Nobel laureate Narges

Mohammadi's French lawyer Chirine Ardakani said on X that the human rights activist was arrested on Friday after denouncing the suspicious death of lawyer Khosrow Alikordi at his memorial ceremony in the northeastern city of Mashhad.

Mashhad prosecutor Hasan Hematifar told reporters on Saturday that Mohammadi was among 39 people arrested after the ceremony.

Hematifar said she and Alikordi’s brother had made provocative remarks at the event and encouraged those present “to chant ‘norm-breaking’ slogans” and disturb the peace, the semiofficial Tasnim news agency reported.
