Overview
- Mohammadi, held in Zanjan prison, suffered what prison medical staff described as a likely heart attack on Tuesday, March 24, yet she was kept in the prison infirmary instead of being transferred to a hospital.
- During a supervised visit on Sunday, her lawyers and sister said she was pale, very weak, and had headaches, nausea, and vision problems, with visible weight loss.
- Her advocates say authorities have blocked any specialist consultation and a transfer, and they are urging immediate medical leave, hospitalization in Tehran, or humanitarian release.
- She was arrested on December 12 in Mashhad after years of rights work, and in February received additional convictions that reports say total more than 17 years in prison with 154 lashes and internal exile.
- Calls for release grew as her legal team reported blasts near the prison that increase stress on detainees and her husband in Paris urged wartime releases allowed under Iranian rules.
