Iranian Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi in Mortal Danger After Prison Heart Attack
Narges Mohammadi, the imprisoned Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner, is reportedly in mortal danger following a heart attack suffered in March while detained at Sanjan prison. Her supporters and family state that her physical condition is critical, marked by extreme weakness and significant weight loss. During a recent visit, her legal team and relatives observed clear signs of deteriorating health, noting that the heart attack was inadequately treated. Additionally, Mohammadi faces severe security risks within the facility, as she is held in a cell with inmates accused of murder who have issued multiple death threats against her. A prominent human rights activist, Mohammadi has spent much of the last decade in prison for protesting compulsory headscarves and opposing the death penalty. She was sentenced to six years in February for assembling and colluding to commit crimes. Although temporarily released from Evin Prison in December 2024 for health reasons, she was returned to custody and remains barred from leaving Iran. Her two children, residing in Paris, accepted her 2023 Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf.
