Iranian lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh wins Vaclav Havel human rights prize
Original: Iranian lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh wins 2026 Vaclav Havel human rights prize
Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh has been awarded the 2026 Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize. Sotoudeh, long known for defending women's rights activists and opposition figures in Iran and for spending years in prison herself, is being recognised for her continuing work despite sustained pressure from Iranian authorities.
Why now: The announcement of a major international human rights prize to a prominent jailed-and-released Iranian lawyer has drawn fresh attention to her case and to repression in Iran.
