Iranian Nobel winner Mohammadi moved to Tehran hospital

Key Points:

• Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been transferred to Pars hospital in Tehran for medical treatment after being granted a temporary suspension of her prison sentence in exchange for a substantial bail.
• Mohammadi, who has suffered two suspected heart attacks and other serious health issues while imprisoned in Zanjan, had previously been denied transfer to Tehran despite medical recommendations, with Iran's intelligence agency reportedly blocking the move.
• Her condition had been critical, including a severe drop in blood pressure and difficulty speaking, and she has lost significant weight during her imprisonment, according to her family and lawyer.
• Mohammadi was arrested most recently in December 2025 after criticizing the Iranian government and was sentenced in February 2026 to an additional seven and a half years for conspiracy and propaganda activities.
• She has been imprisoned multiple times since 1998 for her activism, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 for her campaign to advance women's rights and abolish the death penalty in Iran.
