Narges Mohammadi, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and activist, was moved to a Tehran hospital after collapsing in prison, following urgent pleas from her family. Her health has been critical due to multiple illnesses, including a heart attack and a lung blood clot. Although her prison sentence has been temporarily suspended, her foundation insists she needs permanent medical care and should not return to prison. Mohammadi’s lawyer confirmed that medical examiners recommended her transfer for ongoing treatment. Her brother expressed relief at her transfer, blaming previous delays on Iran’s intelligence agency. Mohammadi, known for her advocacy for women’s rights, has been imprisoned multiple times and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2023 while incarcerated. The Nobel committee has urged Iranian authorities to ensure she receives proper medical care, warning that her life is at risk without it.
