Narges Mohammadi: The Nobel Winner Defying1 Tyranny*
納爾吉斯‧穆罕默迪：對抗暴政的諾貝爾得主

3/11
When the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize was announced last October, it was unclear at first whether the winner was even aware of the recognition. As grim evidence of the hardships she faces, the new Nobel laureate, Narges Mohammadi, was locked away in Iran’s notorious Evin Prison and may not have heard the news for some time.
Honored by the Nobel committee “for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all,” Mohammadi began her human rights activism 32 years ago while attending Qazvin International University. In addition to earning a degree in physics there, she also cofounded a political student group and wrote articles in support of women’s rights for the student newspaper. It was also at the university that she met her husband, a pro-reform journalist named Taghi Rahmani. 
After graduating from university, Mohammadi began her own career in journalism writing for Payam-e Hajar, a magazine dedicated to women’s issues. In a country with greater freedom, such work might have seemed unremarkable. However, by simply writing openly about women’s rights and human rights in Iran, Mohammadi effectively became both a critic7 and target of Iran’s fundamentalist, authoritarian government.
去年十月宣布二○二三年諾貝爾和平獎時，最初甚至並不清楚獲獎人是否知道這項殊榮。這位新任諾貝爾獎得主納爾吉斯．穆罕默迪被關押在伊朗惡名昭彰的埃溫監獄，可能會有一段時間不會聽到這個消息，這就是她面臨的困境的嚴峻證據。
穆罕默迪「因其在伊朗對抗婦女受到壓迫以及為所有人爭取人權和自由而奮鬥」而受到諾貝爾委員會表彰，她在三十二年前就讀加茲溫國際大學時就開始了她的人權運動。除了在那裡取得物理學學位外，她還共同創立了一個政治性的學生團體，並為學生報撰寫支持婦女權利的文章。也是在大學裡她遇到了她的丈夫，一位支持改革的記者，名叫塔吉．拉赫馬尼。
大學畢業後，穆罕默迪開始了自己的新聞生涯，為一本致力於女性議題的雜誌《Payam-e Hajar》撰稿。在有更多自由的國家，這樣的工作可能看似很普通。然而，僅僅公開寫到關於伊朗的婦女權利和人權，穆罕默迪實際上就成為了伊朗基本教義派獨裁政府的批評者和目標。

While courageous, Mohammadi’s activism came at a huge personal cost. After being jailed briefly several times, she received her first lengthy prison term in 2011. With political prisoners in Iran routinely subjected to torture, solitary confinement, and even execution, Mohammadi’s time in prison naturally took a heavy physical and mental toll on her. But despite the harsh conditions, her spirit remained unbroken, and after her release in 2012, she continued to speak out. 
Not surprisingly, this led to further persecution from Iran’s authorities, and Mohammadi has been jailed repeatedly in the years since, with her most recent sentence beginning in 2021. Nonetheless, her determination has never weakened, and she has continued her efforts to hold the authorities to account. In 2022, for example, the BBC published a report she wrote about the sexual and physical abuse inflicted against women arrested during mass protests. The protests were inspired by Mahsa Amini, a young woman who died in police custody.
It was for this extraordinary courage and relentless commitment to justice that Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. From the darkness of a prison cell, Mohammadi shines a light that will continue to guide activists around the world in the ongoing struggle against oppression, cruelty, and tyranny.
雖然勇敢，但穆罕默迪的行動主義卻付出了巨大的個人代價。在多次短暫入獄後，她在二○一一年首次經歷了漫長的刑期。由於伊朗的政治犯經常遭受酷刑、單獨監禁，甚至處決，穆罕默迪在獄中的時光自然是對她的身心造成了嚴重的影響。但儘管情況惡劣，她的精神始終未被打垮，在二○一二年獲釋後，她繼續公開發言。
不出所料，這導致了伊朗當局進一步的迫害，自那之後幾年，穆罕默迪多次入獄，最近一次服刑是從二○二一年開始。儘管如此，她的決心從未動搖，她繼續努力追究當局的責任。例如，在二○二二年，英國廣播公司（BBC）發表了她撰寫的一篇報告，內容關於在大規模抗議期間被捕的女性所遭受到的性虐待和身體虐待。這些抗議活動是因瑪莎．阿米尼，一名在警察拘留期間死亡的年輕女子而引起的。
正是由於這種非凡的勇氣和對正義持續不懈的投入，穆罕默迪獲頒了諾貝爾和平獎。從牢房的黑暗中，穆罕默迪點亮了一盞燈，將繼續指引世界各地的行動主義分子持續對抗壓迫、殘酷和暴政。
