Narges Mohammadi has been released from a hospital in Tehran after spending more than two weeks receiving medical treatment, according to her supporters.
The 54-year-old Iranian human rights activist was urgently transferred from prison to a hospital in northwestern Iran on May 1 after reportedly falling unconscious while in custody.
Supporters said Mohammadi was later released on bail and moved to a hospital in Tehran, where specialists conducted further examinations and treatment.
Her supporters are now calling on Iranian authorities to allow her to remain at home so she can continue follow-up medical care and receive daily physiotherapy.
Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 while imprisoned for her activism and outspoken criticism of Iran’s government and human rights record.
She has faced repeated arrests and prison sentences throughout her career. Her latest imprisonment began in December after she was arrested in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad.
Family members have previously warned that her health had seriously deteriorated in prison conditions. They alleged she was severely beaten during her arrest and said she has suffered multiple medical complications while incarcerated.
According to her family, Mohammadi experienced a heart attack in March and has also been living with a blood clot in her lung, a condition requiring ongoing monitoring and blood-thinning medication.
Her case has drawn widespread international attention from human rights organizations and governments calling for her release and improved medical treatment.
