Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has said that Iranian authorities have issued her a permanent travel ban.

Mohammadi announced the ban in an Instagram post, saying that she discovered it when she applied for a passport to travel to France to visit her children.

"They impose the word 'permanent' on our sentences while they themselves live in daily fear of a downfall that will come at the hands of the Iranian people," the prominent human rights activist wrote.

Mohammadi, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023, has been separated from her children for years. In her post, she expressed her longing for them.

"This is the 11th year that I light candles on your birthday cake away from your embrace and kiss your dear faces, in solitude," she wrote.

The human rights campaigner has been arrested multiple times over the past 16 years and has been sentenced to a total of 36 years in prison and 145 lashes.

She was released from Evin Prison in December last year with a suspended sentence after serving 10 years.
