The children of Iranian Nobel Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi have paid tribute to their mother in the wake of her autobiography revealing her fear of dying without ever seeing them again. Mohammadi's teenage son Ali Rahmani stated that it was not up to her to feel bad, but rather the Iranian regime should bear the responsibility.
During a book launch event in France, Rahmani expressed deep hurt when he heard his mother apologize to them for her prolonged absence, though he was also glad as it indicated her love. His twin sister, Kiana Rahmani, expressed pride in their mother and a desire to convey their own pride. Mohammadi, 54, was recently released from prison on health grounds after her most recent arrest and has spent over a decade in detention for her activism against the death penalty and women's rights.
Her children had accepted her Nobel Prize on her behalf in 2023. Iranian activist Taghi Rahmani, Mohammadi's husband, noted that she will likely be sent back to prison despite her release due to her deteriorating health.
