 During the 2009 riots and actions against human rights and against the interests of the Iranian people, Nargis Mohammadi was first banned from going out and then arrested in May 2010 at the Human Rights Defenders Center, which was headed by Shirin Ebadi. In May 2021, Mohammadi was again convicted and jailed on charges of “advertising against the regime,” “sit-in at the prison office,” “disobedience to management and prison authorities,” “breaking windows,” and “slander.” At the same time, awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to a person who was convicted and sentenced according to the laws of the country and is now serving a sentence in prison cannot be called anything other than the politicization of the concept of human rights and the implementation of an interventionist act. At the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, hosts and guests focused more on “separatism” than on the issue of “peace,” and these points were more prominent than the text. Inviting to the ceremony in Norway such people as the leader of the terrorist and separatist group Komle, whose dark history includes such actions as attempts to secede Kurdistan from Iran, cooperation with the Iraqi Baath regime, the murder of innocent people in Mahabad in 2010 and leadership riots last year (2022), was one of the strange events of this ceremony. In response to the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Oslo issued a statement declaring that the Nobel Peace Committee's biased political demonstration against Iran in Oslo demonstrates the instrumental use of valuable concepts such as peace and human rights for political purposes and pressure. to other countries. The statement added: “The past actions of the Nobel Peace Committee in awarding the Peace Prize to criminals such as Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres, who were responsible for the murder of thousands of oppressed and innocent Palestinians, proves the political nature of this committee; It is expected that one day we will see the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to another criminal such as Netanyahu." According to a statement by the Iranian Embassy in Oslo, this ceremony was held at a time when the world witnessed the killing of more than 18,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip by the Zionist regime with the deathly silence of the so-called human rights defenders or their passive handling of the heinous crimes of the Zionist regime, or their recognition of the so-called the right to defend the child killing regime; This situation clearly shows their hypocrisy and double standards regarding human rights and peace. In a statement, the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Oslo said that inviting the leader of the terrorist group Komle Party to this event is also a sign of the sinister intention of the founders and supporters of this event. Inviting the leader of a terrorist group, whose hands are stained with the blood of thousands of people, cannot be justified by any logic. The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Oslo emphasized in this statement that this shows a serious contradiction between the actions and decisions of the Nobel Peace Committee and the supposed goals of peace.
