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 recognized for defending women's rights activists and political prisoners in Iran despite repeated imprisonment, receives one of Europe's most prominent human rights honors. The award highlights ongoing concerns about the treatment of lawyers and dissidents in Iran and renews international attention on her case.
Why now: The announcement of a major international rights award to a jailed-then-freed Iranian lawyer draws fresh attention to human rights in Iran.
