DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi of Iran has been discharged from a Tehran medical facility following more than two weeks of treatment, according to her supporters who announced the news Monday.
Supporters are urging that the 54-year-old Mohammadi remain at her residence for continued medical care and daily physical therapy sessions.
On May 1, Mohammadi required emergency transport from her prison facility to a medical center in northwestern Iran after losing consciousness. Nearly 10 days following that incident, she was granted bail and moved to the Tehran hospital facility where medical specialists conducted examinations.
The Nobel Prize was awarded to her in 2023 during her incarceration, and she has faced multiple imprisonments during her activism career. Her current detention period started in December following her arrest in Mashhad, a city in northeastern Iran.
According to her family members, her physical condition had been declining while incarcerated, partially due to severe physical assault during her arrest. She experienced cardiac arrest in March and has been dealing with a lung blood clot that predates her imprisonment, requiring blood-thinning medication and medical supervision.
