Iranian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Narges Mohammadi has been moved to a medical facility in Tehran after collapsing in prison over a week ago, according to her foundation.
The organization reports that Mohammadi’s hospital transfer occurred following persistent appeals from family members and supporters. Officials have granted her a temporary suspension of her prison term with bail conditions.
Since December, Mohammadi had been held at Zanjan prison facility. On May 1st, she was taken to a nearby medical center after losing consciousness on two separate occasions.
In a statement provided to The Associated Press, her foundation expressed that the temporary release falls short of what’s needed, emphasizing that Mohammadi requires “permanent, specialized care.”
The organization’s statement further declared: “we must ensure she never returns to prison to face the 18 years remaining on her sentence. Now is the time to demand her unconditional freedom and the dismissal of all charges.”
