"Victory is not easy, but it is certain," imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize winner and women's rights activist Narges Mohammadi, said in a message smuggled out of her Tehran cell published late Tuesday.
Mohammadi -- who was given the nod in early October"for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran" -- once again criticised the requirement for women in Iran to wear a headscarf, and denounced Iranian authorities. She condemned"a regime that has institutionalized deprivation and poverty in society for forty-five years", adding that it was"built on lies, deception, cunning, and intimidation".
On Saturday, Armita Garawand, a 17-year-old ethnic Kurd, died a week after she was declared"brain dead," after she had been hospitalised since October 1 after she fell unconscious on the metro.
