Typically, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize gives their acceptance lecture at the awards ceremony in Oslo, Norway – but this year's recipient, Narges Mohammadi, couldn't. She remains behind bars for her long-time human rights work advocating for women's rights and democracy in Iran.
So, at Sunday's ceremony, she was represented by her twin 17-year-old children — Ali and Kiana Rahmani — who delivered the speech on her behalf.
"I write this message from behind the high, cold walls of a prison," they read. "I am an Iranian woman, a proud and honorable contributor to civilization, who is currently under the oppression of a despotic religious government."
