TLDRIran has sentenced Nobel peace prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to over seven more years in prison, according to her lawyer, as Tehran cracks down on dissent.

She has been sentenced to six years for 'gathering and collusion' and one and a half years for propaganda, along with a two-year travel ban and two years of internal exile.
