Iran’s imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Narges Mohammadi, has been urgently transferred to a hospital after a severe health decline. Her foundation reported Friday that she experienced two episodes of unconsciousness and a cardiac crisis. Mohammadi fainted twice in prison earlier that day. Her family and foundation have long advocated for her transfer due to systematic medical neglect since her arrest in December. Despite her critical condition, authorities delayed her transfer. Mohammadi, a rights lawyer, was arrested in December and sentenced to seven more years in prison. Her health has worsened due to mistreatment and previous heart issues.
