  1. It is time to.drop this ridiculous and useless prize.

  2. What happened to Emma Watson??

  3. Prize for Western economic power. Rights are equal! And this westernized Iranian woman jumped the queue! It was Julian Assange's turn, who revealed the truth about the American government and espionage with Obama by reading the E-mails of several heads of state.

  4. How come Hong Kong Jimmy Lai not selected. Not fair. Must select him so that the West can demonize China.

  5. Iran could extradite her to the United States to serve the rest of her sentence in Guantánamo, the prison where the United States throws all its opponents without trial.

  6. Not Gorger Floyd? Oh, he is dead.

  7. It is my own decision to cover myself for Allah, I will not let western propagandists take that away from me 😊❤❤ i don't need forced freedom

  8. Nobel Peace Prize is a corrupt organisation funded by filthy rich war-mongering Zionists. If it was impartial and non-biased, the award would have gone to Julian Assange or the Palestinian women fighting for their freedom against the artificial state of Israel and its facist regime everyday

  9. 🌐 WORLD SHOULD HELP IRANIANS IN THEIR FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. BY CUTTING TIES WITH CRIMINAL DICTATORSHIP REGIME OF MULLAHS DON'T SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVILS.

  10. hilarious . Always Iranians are awarded Noble prize for human rights issues …. What about Uyghurs ? …. what about China's UYGHUR GENOCIDE industry in Chinese army illegally invaded Eastern Turkestan ? ….. what about China-Arab Axis's UYGHUR HALAL ORGAN HARVESTING INDUSTRY in war criminal China's army illegally invaded Eastern Turkestan ?, … what about China's HUMAN FLESH CAPSULE MAKING INDUSTRY ? …. UYGHURS ARE TOTALLY IGNORED BY ALL INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS also NOBLE PEACE PRIZE COMMITTEE …. Genocide is far worse than human right issue , right ? . how many Iranians have become HUMAN FLESH CAPSULES ? … How many million UYGHURS ALREADY BECOME China's HUMAN FLESH CAPSULES ? … , UYGHUR HALAL ORGANS ? … Noble prize scared from CHINA , RIGHT ? …..

  11. THIS IS A JOKE AGAIN …… Always Iranians are awarded Noble prize for human rights issues …. What about Uyghurs ? …. what about China's UYGHUR GENOCIDE industry in Chinese army illegally invaded Eastern Turkestan ? ….. what about China-Arab Axis's UYGHUR HALAL ORGAN HARVESTING INDUSTRY in war criminal China's army illegally invaded Eastern Turkestan ?, … what about China's HUMAN FLESH CAPSULE MAKING INDUSTRY ? …. UYGHURS ARE TOTALLY IGNORED BY ALL INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS also NOBLE PEACE PRIZE COMMITTEE …. Genocide is far worse than human right issue , right ? . how many Iranians have become HUMAN FLESH CAPSULES ? … How many million UYGHURS ALREADY BECOME China's HUMAN FLESH CAPSULES ? … , UYGHUR HALAL ORGANS ? … Noble prize scared from CHINA , RIGHT ? ………….

  12. Iran is dying slowly.

  13. We all love you. ❤

  14. Nargiz you deserve it!!! You are the true champion of women standing against all sort of oppression. It wont mean much to you but i hope Iranians stand together against murderous regime. Free Iran

  15. Should go to Gonzalo Lira, journalist and political prisoner in Ukraine, for exposing the Zelensky regime.

  16. Why no Nobel Prize for Palestinians fighting Zionist terrorists 🤔

  17. What about vishwa guru Modi, He stopped Russia Ukraine war

  18. ONLY ONE MAN DESERVE THIS PRIZE AND HIS JULIAN ASSANGE

  19. This woman is crazy. Iran is an Islamic country and not a country of ho*s , like whole of western and European world. She should be behind bars, her whole life. It is better for Europe to give is sh** prize to one of their whor**??

  20. Haha propaganda 😂😂😂

  21. This is the most politically influenced award, Obama, the war criminal, got it in 2009, during his presidency, Obama approved the use of 563 drone strikes that killed approximately 4,000 people. In fact, Obama authorized 54 drone strikes alone in Pakistan during his first year in office. I wonder when some Palestinian protesters jailed by Israel will get this award from these hypocrites that are so concerned about "Human Rights" in Middle-East while the imprison Middle-Easterns in Abu Gharib and Gauntanamo.

  22. As an Iranian woman who is facing oppression in my everyday life, and the only think can do is walking without hijab in Iran's streets while my heart pounding of fear this news brought tears to my eyes. Congrats to Narges, to Iranian women and all women around the world ❤❤❤

  23. Hahha😂😂😂😂. Politics

  24. just another propaganda that never stops, lol

  25. God bless her. She must NOT be whipped!!!!!’n all governments in the world must stop this!!!!! Someone please start an action against this barbarism!!!!

  26. Part of her sentence was to be given a beating. Can Iranians really continue to live with the shame of what their government is doing in the name of god? How is there not an immediate general strike across the whole country? Come on people – stop giving up and get your cruel overlords out!

  27. What a shame, I can’t believe nobel is given to a terrorist and lier who caused the death of so many Iranians with her lies and acts,she is one of the most hated figures by Iranians and Iranian women, this is a joke. Like giving the Nobel prize to Putin for bringing peace to the world!! Or to Hitler for saving humanity!!! Nobel has no more credit on this side of the world, it is politically biased, it is sad to see how a lie turns into a fake truth by media and people actually believe it, I feel sorry for the world and for the ignorant individuals who let the media wash their brains. Shame on you nobel and Viva truth, humanity, women,

  28. What a shame, I can’t believe nobel is given to a terrorist who is one of the most hated figures by Iranians and Iranian women, this is a joke. Like giving the Nobel prize to Putin for bringing peace to the world!! Or to Hitler for saving humanity!!! Nobel has no more credit on this side of the world, it is politically biased

  29. Why did they give the prize to a reformist of Islamic regime? She wasn't part of Women, Life, Freedom movement. There are many Iranian women who are in Iran jails and not even considered. What message West tries to send to Iranian people? This shows that Nobel peace prize committee is politically corrupted. An Iranian woman. ✌✌✌

  30. Q: Does the West believe in human rights?

    A: Julian Assange…

  31. A Nobel prize so she and others like her will not cause unjustified protests and property damage.

  32. weak men who veil and crush women. Shame on Iran

  33. The Rule of Law in Iran are not based on men Regulations but by Islamic Religious Laws,all Citizens of Iran are Born into it!
