Narges Mohammadi's incarcerated teenage children graciously accept her Nobel Peace Prize

The teenage twins of Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi have accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on their mother's behalf. Mohammadi, who is currently serving a 10-year jail term in Tehran, was awarded the prize for her efforts in fighting against the oppression of women in Iran. In a speech that was smuggled out of prison and read by her children, she criticized Iran's "tyrannical" government and expressed hope that the Iranian people would overcome repression and authoritarianism. Mohammadi has been a prominent human rights figure in Iran for years and has faced numerous arrests and convictions. She is currently imprisoned for "spreading propaganda". Mohammadi's husband, Taghi Rahmani, lives in exile in Paris and has not seen his wife or children in years. The twins collected the prize, which includes a cheque for 11 million Swedish crowns, at a ceremony in Oslo's City Hall. An empty chair was placed on the podium to symbolize Mohammadi's absence.
