Iran Suspends Narges Mohammadi’s Sentence for Hospital Treatment in Tehran

The move follows a state medical examiner’s ruling that she must receive care outside prison under her own doctors.

Overview

  • Narges Mohammadi was moved from Zanjan prison to a Tehran hospital after her sentence was suspended on bail for medical treatment.
  • Her lawyer said the order followed a Forensic Medicine Organization finding that her conditions require treatment outside prison by her own medical team.
  • Family accounts describe a sharp decline in her health, including a March heart attack, a lung blood clot, wild swings in blood pressure, and difficulty speaking.
  • The duration of the suspension is unknown because Iranian authorities have not commented on the decision.
  • Her foundation calls the suspension insufficient and demands her unconditional release, as the Nobel committee has warned her life remains at risk without specialist care.
