Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi in Critical Health After Prison Heart Attack
Jailed Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi is in critical condition, her supporters announced Wednesday. She suffered a heart attack in prison last month. Her family and lawyers reported a sharp decline in her health during a second visit. They described her physical state as critical, according to her advocacy foundation. Mohammadi is a prominent human rights activist. She won the Nobel prize in 2023 while imprisoned for her work against the oppression of women in Iran.
