Mohammadi and other female inmates protested the death penalty, but were violently dispersed by prison guards, leading to severe injuries and inadequate medical care being provided.
Taghi Rahmani, Mohammadi's husband, stated: "All prisoners have the right to freedom of expression and peaceful protest; they must not be brutally beaten for this."
UN Special Rapporteur Mai Sato emphasized the need for Mohammadi's immediate release and proper medical care, reflecting ongoing concern for her and other inmates' human rights.
Iranian prison authorities denied any physical abuse, despite multiple reports of brutality and the chaos that ensued during the protest against the death penalty.
