Narges Mohammadi returned to her home after being discharged from Pars Hospital in Tehran. Her foundation said she will follow up with her medical team through hospital visits and daily outpatient physiotherapy over the coming weeks, and doctors say she must remain under close medical observation. She was transferred from prison to hospital in early May after episodes of loss of consciousness and a severe cardiac crisis. She was imprisoned after arrest in December and later sentenced to more than seven years, with her lawyer saying six years related to collusion to commit crimes. Her family alleged she was beaten during arrest and reported a sharp health decline, and she suffered a heart attack in late March as she began her sentence. Her daughter warned that returning her to prison would be a death sentence and called for charges to be dropped and persecution to end. Mohammadi received the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize for work against oppression of women in Iran and for human rights and freedom.
"In late March, as she began her sentence, she suffered a heart attack. Her daughter and co-president of the Narges Foundation, Kiana Rahmani, said in a statement on Monday that returning Mohammadi to prison would be a death sentence. We must ensure she remains free, all baseless charges against her are permanently dropped, and the persecution ends. Human rights activism is not a crime, and no advocate should ever be imprisoned for it, Rahmani said."
