Narges Mohammadi's Autobiography Smuggled Out of Iran, Published by NZZ

The autobiography of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, written from prison in Iran, has been smuggled out of the country and published, according to a report by the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung. The book recounts Mohammadi's experience of resistance in Iran and the personal cost of her activism. The publication is framed by NZZ as contraband, underscoring the restrictions on her writing and the risks involved in circulating her account. The same NZZ feuilleton books section also features a separate article examining the Houthi movement, tracing how a local protest movement in Yemen evolved into a geopolitical power factor. According to that report, the Houthi militias now control one of the world's most important shipping routes and regularly attack Israel. The article poses the question of who stands behind the Yemeni group. Both pieces appear in the NZZ feuilleton's books coverage.
