Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi Hospitalized in Iran After Health Deteriorates in Custody
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been transferred to a hospital in Zanjan, Iran, following a severe decline in her health while in custody. According to a statement from the Narges Mohammadi Foundation, the activist experienced a severe cardiac crisis and two episodes of complete loss of consciousness while imprisoned.
Prison medical staff recommended her immediate transfer to a specialized treatment facility. Despite the recommendation for a medical center in Tehran, authorities moved her to a hospital in Zanjan. Mohammadi has been held in Iranian prisons for several years due to her advocacy for human rights and women’s rights.
The reported deterioration in her condition has drawn renewed attention from international human rights organizations and activists. These groups are calling on Iranian authorities to ensure she receives adequate medical treatment and to reconsider the terms of her detention. The foundation’s statement emphasized the urgent need for independent medical oversight and highlighted ongoing concerns regarding the treatment of political prisoners in Iran.
Mohammadi’s case has long been monitored by international observers, who have repeatedly raised concerns about her health and the conditions of her confinement. The latest hospitalization underscores continuing scrutiny of Iran’s handling of detained activists and the accessibility of specialized healthcare for long-term inmates.
