At Friday's ceremony in Oslo, Ms Reiss-Andersen said The prestigious award was given to Ms Mohammadi for " her fight against The oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote Human Rights and freedom for all".
She began her address with The Words " woman - Life - freedom" - a reference to The motto of recent mass protests sweeping Iran.
She went on to describe The Prize as recognition of The Hundreds of thousands of Iranians who have demonstrated over The Past year against The " theocratic regime's policies of discrimination and oppression targeting women" - a movement headed, She Said , by The new Nobel Prize winner.

" If The Iranian authorities make The Right decision they will release her so she can be present to receive this honour, which is what we primarily hope for. "
But it seems highly unlikely that The Activist will actually be able to Pick Up her prize.
The UN said The award highlighted " The courage and determination of The Women of Iran and how they are an inspiration to The World ".

" It makes me cry. She did so much for all of us in Evin. Narges is an inspiration and a pillar to The Women in The Female ward in Evin for her fearless fight against violations of women's rights, The use of solitary confinement and execution in The judicial system in Iran.
" This award belongs to every single Iranian woman who, One Way or another, has been and remains a victim of injustice in Iran. "
As well as her lengthy jail term, Ms Mohammadi has been arrested 13 times and convicted five times.
Last December, she wrote from prison to of how Iranian women detained in demonstrations were being sexually and physically abused.
She Said such assaults had become more common during The protests, triggered by The death in police custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September 2022.
The unrest later spread across The country, with demands ranging from more freedoms to an overthrow of The State .
Images of Iranian women defiantly setting their headscarves On Fire captivated The World .
The Iranian authorities have brutally cracked down on The protests and they have largely subsided.
