Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi Faces Critical Health Crisis in Prison

Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Narges Mohammadi, currently imprisoned in Iran, faces a critical health crisis following a heart attack. A recent statement from the Narges Mohammadi Foundation, reported on X, reveals that family visits to Zanjan prison indicate she is in dire condition.

The statement highlighted that Mohammadi appeared weak, pale, and had lost significant weight. Her health deteriorated further after she suffered a heart attack on March 24. Despite this, no immediate medical intervention was reportedly given for over an hour.

Mohammadi, a renowned rights lawyer, was arrested in December 2023 in Mashhad, Iran, leading to a seven-year sentence. Her imprisonment and ongoing health crisis have drawn international attention to her plight and the broader issues of political imprisonment in Iran.
