Iranian Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi in Critical Condition, Lawyer Says

The Nobel Committee urges an immediate move to her own doctors in Tehran.

Overview

  • Mohammadi, 54, was moved from prison to a hospital in Zandsjan in northwest Iran and is now in intensive care, according to her supporters.
  • Her lawyer says she is between life and death, while relatives report two losses of consciousness and untreated heart trouble after a March heart attack.
  • The Nobel Committee called for her transfer to her own medical team in Tehran, a step Iranian authorities have not publicly approved.
  • Supporters, including Reporters Without Borders, appealed to UN rights chief Volker Türk to intervene, citing delayed treatment and unstable blood pressure.
  • A court added several years to her prison term in February and imposed a two‑year travel ban, continuing decades of detentions over her work against forced veiling and executions.
