Iran Grants Bail to Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi for Hospital Treatment

The move follows a ruling by Iran’s forensic medical authority that she needs specialist care outside prison.

Overview

Mohammadi, who obtained a conditional suspension on Sunday, was moved by ambulance to a Tehran hospital to be treated by her own doctors.
Her lawyer said the order came after the state Forensic Medicine Organization concluded her multiple illnesses require care outside prison under her personal medical team.
Her family reports a March heart attack, a prior blood clot in her lung that needs blood thinners, extreme swings in blood pressure, oxygen support, and an inability to speak.
Relatives and supporters say guards beat her during detention and that earlier medical transfers to Tehran were blocked by Iran’s intelligence service.
Her foundation calls the bail deal insufficient and seeks unconditional release, while the Nobel Committee and a senior U.S. human-rights official urge proper care and freedom; February court rulings added about seven and a half years to her sentences, with 18 years said to remain.
