Narges Mohammadi was hospitalized twice after sustaining injuries during her Dec 12 arrest following her protest against a lawyer's suspicious death, her family said.
- On Dec 12, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi was taken to hospital emergency rooms twice after suffering blows during her arrest, her family told the Narges Foundation on Dec 15.
- After speaking at a memorial, Mohammadi was re-arrested on Dec 12 after denouncing the suspicious death of lawyer Khosrow Alikordi, and Hasan Hematifar said she made "provocative remarks" at the Mashhad memorial.
- Mohammadi is serving a 13 years and nine months sentence and was released last year from Tehran's Evin prison on a suspended term for medical treatment, continuing activism despite repeated arrests.
- Mohammadi told her family she faced accusations of "cooperating with the Israeli government", received death threats and asked her legal team to file a formal complaint, while there was no immediate comment from Iranian authorities.
- As a 2023 Nobel laureate and three-decade campaigner, Mohammadi backed the women-led Mahsa Amini protests, giving her detention wider resonance beyond Iran.
