Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian rights campaigner and Nobel Peace laureate, expressed hope for change in Iran despite being imprisoned and separated from her family. In an interview conducted from prison, Mohammadi stated that the protest movement against the Islamic republic is still alive and that the government has been unable to break the protests. She believes that the protests have weakened the foundations of religious-authoritarian rule and accelerated the process of realizing democracy, freedom, and equality in Iran. Mohammadi criticized the West for appeasing Iran's leaders and perpetuating the religious-authoritarian system. She acknowledged her unlikely prospects of freedom but expressed her determination to continue fighting for democracy, equality, and freedom.
