Iran’s Imprisoned Nobel Peace Laureate Narges Mohammadi May Have Had a Heart Attack
Narges Mohammadi has frequent chest pain and breathing difficulties after a probable heart attack in prison and has been denied hospital transfer, lawyers say.
- Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi may have suffered a heart attack in Zanjan Prison, according to French lawyer Chirinne Ardakani, who reported she was found unconscious for over an hour on March 24.
- Since her December arrest in Mashhad, Mohammadi has faced deteriorating health following a violent beating; her husband Taghi Rahmani told The Associated Press that multiple men kicked her in the head, neck, and side.
- Lawyers visiting on Sunday found Mohammadi pale and having lost significant weight, while Ardakani reported she experiences daily chest pain and breathing difficulties yet remains denied hospital transfer or cardiologist visits.
- Nobel Peace Prize officials previously condemned the "ongoing life-threatening mistreatment" of Mohammadi, while Ardakani expressed concern that Iranian authorities are seeking to "wear her down, slowly killing her."
- An airstrike reportedly hit a Shiite religious gathering place about 2 miles from Zanjan Prison at dawn Tuesday, while Mohammadi remains incarcerated serving seven additional years imposed by a Revolutionary Court.
