Nobel Peace Prize Winner Narges Mohammadi Moved to Tehran Hospital Amid Health Concerns

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, a prominent advocate for women's rights and human rights in Iran, has been transferred to Pars Hospital in Tehran. This move follows a significant deterioration in her health, necessitating specialized medical care outside of prison. The Narges Mohammadi Foundation, based in Paris, confirmed the transfer, stating that she was moved via ambulance after a temporary suspension of her sentence was granted on a substantial bail.

Una suspensión no es suficiente; Narges Mohammadi requiere cuidados permanentes y especializados. Debemos garantizar que nunca regrese a prisión para cumplir los 18 años restantes de su sentencia

The foundation emphasized that a temporary suspension is insufficient, as Mohammadi requires continuous, specialized care. They are demanding her unconditional release and the dismissal of all charges against her, asserting that no human rights defender should ever be imprisoned for their peaceful work. Her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, explained that the decision for medical transfer was based on an evaluation by Iran's Forensic Medicine Organization, which deemed her condition critical due to multiple illnesses.

La Fundación sostuvo además que “ningún defensor de los derechos humanos y de las mujeres debería ser encarcelado jamás por su labor pacífica”.

Mohammadi was transferred from Zanjan prison on May 1st after experiencing a loss of consciousness and a severe cardiac crisis. Reports indicate she has suffered significant weight loss, unstable blood pressure, and serious cardiac symptoms consistent with angina. She was awarded the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize while already incarcerated, recognized for her tireless activism despite facing multiple sentences for charges including "propaganda against the state" and "conspiracy against national security."

La medida fue adoptada tras una evaluación de la Organización de Medicina Legal de Irán, que concluyó que Mohammadi necesita atención médica especializada fuera de prisión debido a “múltiples enfermedades”.

From an Iranian perspective, Narges Mohammadi is a symbol of resilience and a powerful voice against repression. While international media highlights her Nobel Prize and her struggle for human rights, the domestic narrative, often suppressed, views her as a national figure who has sacrificed immensely for her beliefs. The international pressure and diplomatic efforts that contributed to her temporary release are acknowledged, but the core demand remains her complete freedom. The global civil society's mobilization is seen as crucial, underscoring the power of collective action in pressuring the regime, a sentiment that resonates deeply within Iran's own human rights movement.

La vida de Narges Mohammadi está en peligro. Narges no es solo una defensora de los derechos humanos reconocida a nivel global; es una madre separada de sus hijos, una hija, una hermana y una feminista incansable que ha dedicado su vida a los derechos humanos, la libertad de las mujeres y la dignidad
