Narges Mohammadi Transferred to Hospital After Collapsing in Iran Prison

Narges Mohammadi, the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize recipient recognized for her advocacy for women's rights, has been moved to a hospital in Tehran more than a week after she collapsed in Zanjan prison, her foundation reported on Sunday. She had lost consciousness twice before being taken to a local hospital on May 1. This transfer was prompted by Iran's Legal Medicine Organisation, which indicated that she requires treatment from her own medical team outside of prison. Her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, confirmed this directive via social media. Although Mohammadi has received a temporary suspension of her prison sentence on bail, the length of this reprieve remains uncertain. Her foundation demands her unconditional release and the dismissal of all charges, emphasizing her need for ongoing specialized care and opposing her return to serve the remaining 18 years of her sentence. Mohammadi has been incarcerated since December.
