Iranian Nobel laureate gets rare break from prison - medical reasons revealed
Last years Nobel Peace Prize winner **Narges Mohammadi** got temporary freedom from Tehranʼs Evin prison due to health issues. Her three-week release follows recent surgery and needs regular medical check-ups
Narges Mohammadi‚ an Iranian human-rights champion got out of Evin prison on a short-term basis: the decision came after doctors looked at her post-surgery condition
The Tehran prosecutorʼs office gave her a three-week break from jail (which happened about a year ago) because she needed proper care after a bone-graft operation and tumor removal. Her lawyer Mostafa Nili shared that the tumor wasnt dangerous but needs checking every three months
Based on the forensic doctorʼs opinion‚ the jail sentence was suspended for three weeks
Mohammadiʼs achievements include:
- Getting the Nobel Peace Prize last year
- Fighting for womens rights in Iran for 30+ years
- Working to stop death penalty use in the country
The head of Norwegian Nobel group Joergen Watne Frydnes spoke about her health saying they want Iran to let her stay free and get good medical help. Mohammadi stays in Tehranʼs Evin jail with many charges - one being anti-government talk
