Narges Mohammadi, an imprisoned Iranian human rights activist and 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, is hospitalized in Iran after her health sharply deteriorates in custody. Multiple outlets report she is transferred from prison to a medical facility in northwestern Iran, following a “catastrophic” decline in condition described by her foundation and supporters. Several accounts say she experiences serious cardiac symptoms, including a suspected or reported heart attack, and episodes of fainting or loss of consciousness while incarcerated. Supporters also describe her condition as critical, with some reporting she is “between life and death.” Mohammadi’s family and representatives say she is being treated in a hospital under guard, and her supporters have raised concerns about whether she is receiving timely or adequate care.

Separately, more than 110 Nobel laureates issue a statement calling for her immediate and unconditional release, urging Iranian authorities and the international community to act without delay to ensure continued access to medical treatment. The Norwegian Nobel Committee chair also publicly emphasizes that her life is in the hands of Iranian authorities and urges that she be released to her dedicated medical team.
