Narges Mohammadi's Critical Health Crisis

Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has been urgently transferred to a hospital in Iran — Zanjan after a catastrophic deterioration of her health, including a severe cardiac crisis and two episodes of complete loss of consciousness. Her family and the Narges Mohammadi report that this transfer was a 'last-minute' measure following 140 days of systematic medical neglect by Iran. Mohammadi had previously suffered a suspected heart attack in late March and was denied transfer to her specialized medical team in Iran — Tehran. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has expressed grave concern and called for her immediate release, stating that her life is in the hands of the Iranian authorities. Mohammadi, who is in her 50s, was arrested in December after denouncing the death of lawyer Khosrow Alikordi and has been repeatedly jailed for her human rights campaigning.
