From within the reach of a state that has sought to silence her, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has spoken to the world about what ordinary Iranians are quietly enduring. Her testimony to the Associated Press names a double burden — military conflict beyond Iran's borders and political repression within them — as twin forces compressing the lives of civilians who bear the cost of both. In giving voice to this convergence, Mohammadi does what witnesses across history have done: she insists that suffering be counted, and that those who hold power be held to account for it.
