Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi 'celebrated' award in prison
Narges Mohammadi was awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran. She is currently serving a 10-year jail term in Tehran for allegedly "spreading propaganda".
Her daughter Kiana Rahmani says her mother celebrated the award in prison.
Speaking to Weekend's Julian Worricker, Kiana said her mother was "very happy and proud" to have received the prize, which she said was a victory for "all Iranians, especially women activists".
