00:04 Women, life, freedom.
00:09 The Norwegian Nobel Committee has
00:12 decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2023
00:19 to Narges Mohammadi for her fight
00:24 against the oppression of women in Iran
00:27 and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all.
00:34 Her brave struggle has come with tremendous personal cost.
00:41 Altogether, the regime has arrested her 13 times,
00:47 convicted her five times, and sentenced her
00:52 to a total of 31 years in prison and 154 lashes.
01:01 Ms. Mohammadi is still in prison as I speak.
01:08 Narges Mohammadi is a woman, a human rights advocate,
01:13 and a freedom fighter.
01:16 In awarding her this year's Nobel Peace Prize,
01:21 the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes
01:25 to honor her courageous fight for human rights, freedom,
01:30 and democracy in Iran.
01:34 This year's Peace Prize also recognizes
01:39 the hundreds of thousands of people
01:43 who in the preceding year have demonstrated
01:46 against the theocratic regime's policies
01:50 of discrimination and oppression targeting women.
01:55 Only by embracing equal rights for all
02:02 can the world achieve the fraternity between nations
02:09 that Alfred Nobel sought to promote.
02:13 If the Iranian authorities make the right decision,
02:17 they will release her so she can be present to receive
02:23 this honor, which is what we primarily hope for.
