The 2023 Nobel Peace Prize has gone to jailed Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi for "her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all."

Mohammadi has long campaigned for women's rights and for the abolition of the death penalty. It has come at huge personal cost – she's been arrested 13 times and sentenced to more than 30 years in jail.

The Nobel Committee said it hoped Iran would release Mohammadi so she could attend the prize ceremony in December.
