Imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi is fighting for her life after being hospitalized under guard for the last five days. Mohammadi, who already suffers from a heart condition, has been placed in a cardiac care unit after being brought to the hospital from a prison in northern Iran.
Supporters report that the laureate suffered two suspected heart attacks on March 24 and May 1. Her brother stated that she is currently experiencing chest pain, nausea, and terrible headaches.
The husband of the imprisoned laureate described the family's fears following her hospitalization for severe medical problems. These concerns are heightened by the authorities' refusal to transfer Mohammadi to Tehran. Her lawyer emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that they are fighting not only for her freedom but so that her heart continues to beat.
