News Center-Iran is witnessing a rise in violation against political and human rights activists, as authorities continue to impose strict restrictions on freedom of movement, including banning many from traveling abroad. These measures come as part of a broader policy aimed at limiting civic activity and suppressing critical voices.

Human rights activist Narges Mohammadi reported, in a message published on virtual social media platforms on thurstady,November 26, that Iranian authorities have imposed a permanent travel ban preventing her from leaving the country.

In her message, Mohammadi said she applied for a passport in order to visit her family, but was met with a decision barring her from travel—one of the restrictions she described as “permanent,” stating: “They stamp the word ‘permanent’ on our sentences, while they themselves live in fear of falling every single day.”

Her remarks come at a time when various institutions and governments have, in recent months, warned about the health and safety of Narges Mohammadi and other political prisoners in Iran.

Narges Mohammadi, who was released temporarily on medical leave, has spent more than ten years behind bars, with total sentences against her exceeding 36 years in prison and 154 lashes. Despite a forensic doctor’s approval to extend the suspension of her sentence, she has faced repeated pressure in recent months to return to Evin Prison.

Mohammadi was awarded the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her struggle for human rights in the Islamic Republic. She has also been a strong supporter of the protests that erupted following the death of Jina Amini while in the custody of the morality police.
