IRAN - Narges Mohammadi was granted a medical leave
December 4, 2024: December 4, 2024 - IRAN. On December 4, Narges Mohammadi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and human rights activist, was granted a 21-day medical leave after her prison sentence was temporarily suspended.
Her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, explained, “Based on a forensic report, the Tehran prosecutor suspended her sentence for three weeks due to her medical condition following surgery to remove a tumor and a bone graft performed 21 days ago. Fortunately, the tumor was benign, but she requires check-ups every three months.”
Mohammadi has long suffered from heart conditions, breast masses, and chronic back pain. Despite needing urgent medical care, including angiography, she often faced denial of access to treatment. On October 27, she was hospitalized for surgery and returned to prison on November 16.
Narges Mohammadi has faced numerous convictions, totaling 15 years and 6 months of prison sentences, as well as 154 lashes, exile, and restrictions on travel and social activities.
In 2023, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Narges Mohammadi for her “for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all.”
