Imprisoned Iranian activist and 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been transferred to a hospital to receive urgent medical treatment following a severe health emergency. A foundation run by her family announced on Saturday that Mohammadi was moved on Friday after experiencing what they described as a catastrophic deterioration of her physical condition while in custody.[1][2]
The family foundation detailed that the medical crisis included a heart attack and two distinct episodes where Mohammadi lost consciousness completely. These events necessitated her immediate removal from her prison cell to a medical facility capable of providing specialized cardiac care for her urgent condition.[1]
Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 while incarcerated for her long-standing campaign to advance women’s rights and her advocacy to abolish the death penalty in Iran. Her recent hospitalization highlights the ongoing health risks she faces while serving her sentence for her human rights activism.[1][2]
