Iranian lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh wins 2026 Havel Prize
Original: Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh wins the 2026 Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize
Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh has been awarded the 2026 Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize. Sotoudeh, long recognised for defending women's rights activists and political prisoners in Iran despite repeated imprisonment, received one of Europe's most prominent human rights honours. Observers see the award as international recognition of her sustained defiance of Iranian authorities and continued advocacy on behalf of jailed dissidents.
Why now: The announcement of a major international human rights prize going to a jailed-persecuted Iranian lawyer has drawn global attention to her case and Iran's rights record.
