Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been sentenced to seven more years in prison after she began a hunger strike, supporters said.

The new convictions against Ms Mohammadi come as Iran tries to negotiate with the United States over its nuclear programme to avert a military strike threatened by President Donald Trump.
