Apr 17, 2026

Tehran [Iran], April 17: Imprisoned Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi is in critical condition following a heart attack, her brother said on Wednesday.
Hamidreza Mohammadi wrote on X that his sister has been severely weakened since suffering the heart attack in late March and has lost significant weight, raising serious concerns within the family. Medical care in prison is also inadequate, he said, an issue supporters have raised in the past.
Mohammadi, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 for her activism against the oppression of women and the death penalty in Iran, is being held in a prison in the city of Zanjan. According to her lawyer, she was sentenced again in early February to several years in prison and faces a two-year travel ban. Previous reports had already raised concerns about insufficient medical treatment.
