Heart attack, weight loss, hardly any help: Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi is in danger of losing her life, according to her brother’s words.
Imprisoned Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi is in critical health, according to her brother. Hamid-Reza Mohammadi wrote on The family is very worried.
In addition, medical care in prison is said to be inadequate, something supporters have complained about in the past.
Mohammadi, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 for her work against the oppression of women and against the death penalty in Iran, is being held in the central prison in the city of Sanjan. At the beginning of February, according to her lawyer, she was sentenced again to several years in prison and was also banned from leaving the country for two years.
There had already been reports of a lack of medical treatment, such as calls for urgently needed cardiological care.
