BREAKING NEWS The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize to Narges Mohammadi for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all.

Her brave struggle has come with tremendous personal costs. Altogether, the regime has arrested her 13 times, convicted her five times, and sentenced her to a total of 31 years in prison and 154 lashes. Mohammadi is still in prison.

In September 2022 a young Kurdish woman, Mahsa Jina Amini, was killed while in the custody of the Iranian morality police. Her killing triggered the largest political demonstrations against Iran’s theocratic regime since it came to power in 1979.

The motto adopted by the demonstrators – “Woman – Life – Freedom” – suitably expresses the dedication and work of Narges Mohammadi.

Last year’s wave of protests became known to the political prisoners held inside the notorious Evin prison in Tehran. Mohammadi assumed leadership. From prison she expressed support for the demonstrators and organised solidarity actions among her fellow inmates. The prison authorities responded by imposing even stricter conditions. Mohammadi was prohibited from receiving calls and visitors.

Narges Mohammadi is a woman, a human rights advocate, and a freedom fighter. In awarding her this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to honour her courageous fight for human rights, freedom, and democracy in Iran. This year’s peace prize also recognises the hundreds of thousands of people who, in the preceding year, have demonstrated against the theocratic regime’s policies of discrimination and oppression targeting women. Only by embracing equal rights for all can the world achieve the fraternity between nations that Alfred Nobel sought to promote. The award to Narges Mohammadi follows a long tradition in which the Norwegian Nobel Committee has awarded the peace prize to those working to advance social justice, human rights, and democracy. These are important preconditions for lasting peace.

"The award will be viewed as a tribute to the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in Iran that rocked the clerical establishment last year but has been suppressed with many activists either killed or in jail."

It may be symbolic but still - symbols have power.

Are there any presidents that should have won or should not have won the nobel peace prize?

I think Herbert Hoover should have won a Nobel Peace Prize for the remarkable relief work he did fighting hunger in Europe during World War I and famine in the immediate aftermath of the war and the Bolshevik Revolution in the Soviet Union.

Anyone who has read my blog for more than a few minutes knows my loyalty and support for Barack Obama. I'm as big of a fan of Barack Obama as you will find anywhere. But it did not make sense when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, and it still doesn't make sense. Even Obama was stunned that he won it. It's always seemed that Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for not being George W. Bush, and I think there were probably a lot more worthy options for that year's award.

Vladimir Putin is a war criminal!!! But Benjamin Netanyahu,Tony blair and George Bush are champions of harmony.They clearly deserve a nobel peace prize for promoting peace through,um,military intervention and bombing civilians.If you want nobel peace prize like Barack Obama,you just need a few well placed drone strikes that indiscriminately target civilians and militants alike.Who needs careful consideration when you can just hand out nobel peace prizes like candies to western imperialist leaders.
