Iran’s security services have threatened the life of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi after her native country’s war with Israel, the Norwegian Nobel Committee and activists said Friday. Mohammadi said that the threats have come through both her lawyer and other indirect channels as she’s kept up public statements about the Islamic Republic’s theocracy, women’s rights and others issues, the committee said. “The clear message, in her own words, is that ‘I have been directly and indirectly threatened with ‘physical elimination’ by agents of the regime,’” the committee said in its announcement. The Free Narges Coalition Steering Committee, which advocates for the 53-year-old laureate, said that the threats came from Iran’s Intelligence Ministry. Iran’s government hasn’t responded to Mohammadi’s recent remarks, and Iran’s mission to the United Nations in New York didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The warnings about Mohammadi came as Iran has made arrests and conducted executions in the wake of the 12-day war with Israel, raising concerns of a further possible crackdown targeting human rights activists and others.
