Iranian Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi rushed to hospital after health deterioration
Family says the jailed Nobel laureate was moved from prison to a local hospital due to a sharp health decline, as calls grow for proper medical care.
Narges Mohammadi, a jailed Iranian Nobel laureate, was rushed to a local hospital after a catastrophic deterioration in her health, her family said on Friday. The 54-year-old activist was taken from prison for urgent medical care as doctors assessed her condition.
The family described a sharp decline, prompting the transfer to hospital and raising questions about the medical care available to prisoners in Iran. Calls have grown over the adequacy of hospital care for Mohammadi and other detainees, with supporters urging transparent updates and proper treatment.
Observers note that Mohammadi has spent years incarcerated for her work, and her health developments have drawn renewed attention from rights groups and international observers. The case underscores ongoing concerns about prison medical provisions and detainee welfare, even as officials provide limited details about her condition.
Authorities have not released further information, and updates on her status were not immediately available. The coming days are expected to bring more clarity as medical teams monitor her condition.
