Nobel Peace Prize laureate and activist Narges Mohammadi has been transferred to a hospital in Tehran, her foundation announced on Sunday. The transfer occurred more than a week after she collapsed while in prison.
The foundation did not immediately provide additional details about her medical condition or the circumstances of the collapse. Mohammadi, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her activism, is currently serving a prison sentence in Iran.
News of the hospitalization was reported by multiple outlets, including PBS NewsHour and The Washington Times, both citing the foundation's statement. The reports did not include further information on her treatment or the specific facility to which she was moved.
Mohammadi's imprisonment and health have drawn international attention. Her foundation has previously raised concerns about her well-being and access to medical care while in custody. The transfer to a hospital marks a development in her case, though the reasons for the delay between her collapse and the move were not explained in the foundation's announcement.
The Iranian government has not issued a public statement on the matter. Mohammadi's supporters continue to call for her release and for independent monitoring of her health.
