Nobel Peace Laureate Narges Mohammadi Admitted to Hospital Following Heart Attack
Narges Mohammadi, the imprisoned Iranian Nobel Peace laureate, was rushed to a hospital after suffering a heart attack. Reuters reported the news, citing a statement from the Narges Mohammadi Foundation, which is operated by her family.
Mohammadi, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023, has been under continuous arrest since 2019 due to her human rights activism. Her health has been a cause of concern among international human rights organizations and has led to calls for her release.
The Nobel Peace Prize, awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, recognizes individuals and organizations for their efforts toward global peace and justice. Mohammadi's award specifically acknowledged her dedication to advocating for human rights and women's rights in Iran, despite facing severe personal risks.
The news of her hospitalization has raised further international attention and concern over her well-being and the treatment of political prisoners in Iran.
