Iranian Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi released from hospital

Her family and supporters said tests linked her heart and blood pressure problems to severe psychological pressure and stress in prison.

  • On Sunday, Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi returned to her Tehran home after 18 days of hospitalization, her family confirmed following her release on bail.
  • Mohammadi had been urgently transferred from prison to a hospital in northwestern Iran on May 1 after losing consciousness, following significant health deterioration in custody.
  • Tests confirmed her heart and blood pressure disorders are linked to "prolonged, severe psychological pressure, chronic anxiety, and intense environmental stress," the foundation stated she must not return to prison "under any circumstances."
  • Daughter Kiana Rahmani emphasized that "her recovery demands strict medical supervision outside prison walls," warning "returning her to detention is a death sentence."
  • Mohammadi still faces 18 years of accumulated security-related sentences, and supporters worry about the risk of re-incarceration for the 2023 Nobel laureate who has spent decades imprisoned.
