Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi Hospitalized After Reported Cardiac Crisis in Iranian Custody

The case intensifies scrutiny of Iran’s treatment of jailed activists.

Overview

  • Mohammadi, who was rushed to a Zanjan hospital Friday after a severe cardiac episode, remains in unstable condition and is receiving oxygen, her family foundation said.
  • Her foundation reports days of dangerously high blood pressure, severe nausea and vomiting, two losses of consciousness, and a grave cardiac event that prison doctors said the clinic could not treat.
  • The Norwegian Nobel Committee voiced concern over her worsening health and urged an immediate transfer to Tehran for specialist care, alongside renewed calls for her release.
  • Her family says her life is in immediate danger and demands the withdrawal of all charges and the annulment of prior convictions tied to her rights work.
  • International outlets noted some details remain unconfirmed, with Reuters saying it could not immediately verify the foundation’s account of the transfer and her condition.
