Narges Mohammadi, a Nobel Peace laureate and prominent Iranian human rights activist, has been moved to a hospital in Tehran after collapsing in prison. Her family and supporters had been urging authorities to provide her with medical care, describing her condition as critical. Mohammadi, who has been imprisoned since December, was granted a temporary suspension of her sentence on bail, though the duration is unclear. Her foundation insists she requires permanent medical care and calls for her unconditional release. Mohammadi’s health has deteriorated due to a heart attack and a blood clot in her lung, exacerbated by her treatment in prison. Her lawyer stated that medical examiners recommended her transfer for continued treatment under her own medical team. The Nobel committee has urged Iranian authorities to ensure her proper medical care, warning that her life is at risk without it.
