Narges Mohammadi Reports Beating in Re-Arrest After Mashhad Memorial

A brief call to her family described two emergency-room visits during custody with no clarity on who is holding her.

Overview

  • Supporters say plain-clothed agents struck her head and neck with batons during the December 12 arrest, leaving her in poor condition.
  • Her family reports she was taken to hospital emergency wards twice after the beating and that security forces issued death threats.
  • Mohammadi told relatives she was accused of “cooperating with Israel” and said she does not know which security body is detaining her.
  • Prosecutors said dozens were arrested at the memorial for lawyer Khosrow Alikordi, whose officially stated heart-attack death has been questioned by family and supporters.
  • The Norwegian Nobel Committee and Iranian activists called for her immediate release and for authorities to disclose her location and health status.
