Narges Mohammadi, the imprisoned Iranian Nobel Peace Prize recipient, has been condemned to an extra 15 months in prison.
Her family reported that she had been charged with "spreading propaganda" against the Islamic Republic administration.
The 51-year-old rights activist received the Nobel Prize in October for "her fight against the oppression of women in Iran, as well as her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all."
That battle has come at a high personal cost, as Mohammadi has spent most of the last two decades in prison.
During her trial, she refused to appear in court or answer questions, according to her family.
In addition to the extra 15 months in prison, Mohammadi's latest sentence includes "two years of exile outside Tehran and neighbouring provinces," according to her relatives.
Mohammadi also received a two-year travel ban, "a two-year ban on membership in social-political groups, and a two-year ban on using a smartphone," according to the statement.
Mohammadi's new sentence is her sixth conviction since 2021 and her third while incarcerated.
Mohammadi was already serving a ten-year, nine-month term for crimes against national security and anti-state propaganda.
She was also sentenced to 154 lashes, a punishment that rights advocates think has not been carried out before, as well as travel limitations.
Last August, she was sentenced to an additional year in prison for her continued activism behind bars, after giving a media interview and a statement on sexual assaults in prison, which she claims have "significantly increased," leading her to describe the abuse as "systematic."
