Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi Leaves Tehran Hospital, Returns Home

The temporary reprieve highlights a clash between lifesaving care requirements versus pending prison terms.

Mohammadi has spent much of the past two decades in and out of prison for her activism

Overview

  • Mohammadi, released from Pars Hospital on Sunday after cardiac care and surgery, returned to her Tehran home to recover.
  • She was treated in the CCU at Zanjan’s Mousavi Hospital from May 1 to 10, then moved by ambulance to Tehran after a court suspended her sentence on heavy bail.
  • The Narges Foundation says hospital tests tied her heart and blood pressure disorders to severe psychological pressure, chronic anxiety, and environmental stress.
  • Doctors ordered months of rest with close specialist follow-up, and her daughter warned that sending her back to prison would amount to a death sentence.
  • Her legal team says about 18 years of sentences remain after a December arrest over remarks at a memorial that a prosecutor called provocative, keeping the risk of re-incarceration high.
