Overwhelmed with emotion after hearing that his wife, Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi, had won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, her husband Taghi Rahmani fielded media calls from his home in Paris.

He was taking the calls for Mohammadi because she is serving a lengthy prison sentence in Iran's Evin prison.

In an interview with NPR, Rahmani said that although his wife's fight for human rights and ongoing imprisonment are what won her the prize, he's happy for what the honor itself symbolizes.

"The Islamic Republic is very powerful - domestically and regionally - so the people of Iran aren't standing up to a simple state," said Rahmani.
