Narges Mohammadi has been granted bail and transferred to a Tehran hospital due to critical health issues.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner had suffered two suspected heart attacks while imprisoned.
Her family and supporters advocate for her permanent medical care, fearing the conditions in prison threaten her life.

Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner, has been transferred from prison to a hospital in Tehran after her health drastically declined, prompting concerns from her family and supporters. She was released on bail and granted a suspension of her sentence, although details regarding the bail amount remain unclear, according to Reuters and Le Monde.

Mohammadi's transfer comes after a series of hospitalizations for serious health issues while serving her sentence in Zanjan prison, where she endured deteriorating health conditions, including two suspected heart attacks earlier this year. Her foundation has stated, "Narges's life hangs in the balance," reflecting the urgency of her condition, according to Bangkok Post and South China Morning Post.

While Mohammadi has received some medical attention, her family fears for her safety if she returns to prison, which could endanger her life given her history of mistreatment and the precariousness of her health condition. The Nobel committee's call for her immediate access to healthcare underscores the serious implications of her ongoing imprisonment, according to NPR and NPR.
