The children of jailed Iranian human rights leader Narges Mohammadi accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of their mother at a ceremony in Oslo, Norway, Sunday. Seventeen-year-old twins Kiana and Ali Rahmani, who live in France, read their mother’s speech, which was smuggled out of Tehran’s Evin Prison. This is Ali.

Ali Rahmani: “The reality is that the regime of the Islamic Republic is at its lowest level of legitimacy and popular support, situated in a position of unstable equlibrium, and the emergence of any element as a catalyst for change will mark the final form of opposition policies and the transition from religious tyranny.”

Narges Mohammadi started a new hunger strike the day of the Nobel ceremony in solidarity with the persecuted Baha’i religious minority in Iran.
