Brief

Nobel laureate Mohammadi has been hospitalized in Iran after suffering a cardiac crisis, according to a statement from a foundation. Mohammadi, who is in her 50s, won the Nobel Prize while imprisoned for her efforts to advance women's rights and abolish the death penalty in Iran.

Her health condition has raised significant concern, as she remains in an unstable state and is currently receiving oxygen. The foundation reported that on Friday morning, Mohammadi fainted after experiencing dangerously high blood pressure and severe nausea over several days.

Following multiple episodes of vomiting, she blacked out and was moved to the prison's medical unit where she received emergency intravenous fluids. The foundation has called for her immediate transfer to a hospital in Tehran to undergo tests and receive specialized treatment.

The secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which awarded Mohammadi the 2023 prize, expressed concern on Thursday about her deteriorating condition after she suffered a heart attack in prison. Mohammadi's situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by political prisoners in Iran, particularly those who are recognized internationally for their human rights advocacy.

The call for her transfer to a specialized medical facility underscores the urgency of her medical needs and the potential risks associated with her current state of health.
