Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, told CNN on Wednesday that Mohammadi has been subjected to severe physical abuse in Iran, according to credible reports from inside the country.
Mohammadi, 53, who has been imprisoned repeatedly in her three-decade campaign for women's rights, was last week sentenced to a new prison term of 7-1/2 years, a group supporting her said on Sunday ....
Instead, the Norwegian Nobel Committee granted to the honor to Venezuelan opposition figure Maria Corina Machado – a courageous woman, no doubt, who graciously gave her medal to Trump in recognition of his achievements.
Maria Corina Machado cannot transfer her Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump, the Norwegian Nobel committee has said ... “Even if the medal or diploma later comes into someone else’s possession, this does not alter who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.” .
