Narges Mohammadi's prison memoir reaches French bookshops
Written secretly behind bars and smuggled out at great risk, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate's memoir is published in French on September 24 by Robert Laffont.
The Iranian dissident Narges Mohammadi, 54, currently under house arrest in Iran, wrote her autobiography while still imprisoned, according to Le Monde. She managed to get the manuscript out to her family at considerable personal risk, the paper reports.
The book appears in French on September 24 under the Robert Laffont imprint, Le Monde notes, tracing what it describes as the perilous journey of the text from Iranian prison cells to French bookshops.
Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 for her work defending women's rights and opposing the death penalty in Iran, a distinction that has kept international attention on her continued detention and, now, on her house arrest.
