THE NEW YORK TIMES: Narges Mohammadi, a prominent human rights activist who has spent much of her adult life in and out of prison, will undergo treatment in Tehran after collapsing earlier this month, a foundation run by her family said.
Narges Mohammadi, a jailed Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate and prominent human rights activist who collapsed earlier this month, has been transferred to a hospital in Tehran for treatment by her own medical team, a foundation run by her family said in a statement on Sunday.
Ms. Mohammadi, 54, has spent much of her adult life in and out of prison in Iran’s authoritarian theocracy and her health has deteriorated in recent months. She was hospitalized on May 1 in the city of Zanjan, where she had been in prison, after collapsing and losing consciousness, but requests to move her to Tehran for treatment were denied at that time.
Ms. Mohammadi spent 10 days in that hospital, before being transferred to another hospital in Tehran on Sunday, the Narges Mohammadi Foundation said.
Mostafa Nili, a lawyer for Ms. Mohammadi, said on social media on Sunday that she had been transferred to Tehran “following an order halting her sentence for medical treatment.” » | Amelia Nierenberg | Monday, May 11, 2026
