Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been transferred to Tehran’s Pars Hospital after 10 days of hospitalization in Zanjan, following a sentence suspension on heavy bail for medical treatment, according to the Narges Foundation.
The foundation said Sunday that Mohammadi was moved by ambulance and is now at Tehran Pars Hospital, where she is expected to receive care from her own medical team.
Her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, said in a post on X that Mohammadi was discharged from Zanjan Hospital after an order halting her sentence for medical treatment.
“Today, Narges Mohammadi was released from Zanjan Hospital after an order was issued to suspend her sentence for medical treatment,” Nili said, according to the foundation. “She was transferred by ambulance to Pars Hospital in Tehran, where she has been admitted,” it added.
According to Nili, the order followed an assessment by Iran’s Legal Medicine Organization that Mohammadi needs specialized care outside prison under the supervision of her own medical team because of multiple illnesses.
The Narges Foundation, and family of Narges said the sentence suspension was not enough, arguing that she requires permanent specialized care and should not be returned to prison.
Mohammadi has 18 years remaining on her sentence. The foundation called for her unconditional freedom and the dismissal of all charges.
Taghi Rahmani, Mohammadi’s husband, and a political prisoner, said the temporary transfer does not resolve the conditions that damaged her health.
“Narges Mohammadi’s life hangs in the balance,” Rahmani said in a statement shared by the foundation. “While she is currently hospitalized following a catastrophic health failure, a temporary transfer is not enough. Narges must never be returned to the conditions that broke her health.”
Rahmani, Narges husband, called for the immediate quashing of what he described as unjust sentences against her and the dismissal of what he called fabricated charges used to silence her.
The foundation thanked the international community for its support but said Mohammadi’s case should remain under pressure until she is permanently freed.
