Iranian peace prize winner gets brief freedom after critical surgery
Nobel laureate **Narges Mohammadi** received short-term release from Iranian prison due to health issues. Her supporters push for permanent freedom while she recovers from bone surgery
In a rare move Iranian authorities granted Narges Mohammadi — who got her Nobel prize this year — a three-week break from imprisonment after doctors removed part of her leg bone (they worried about cancer risk).
The 52-year-old peace activist got permission to leave for just 21 days; her medical-furlough came after a complex operation that needed careful attention. The Iranian govt didnt make any official statements about this temporary freedom: which is set to end before new year
Her supporters say its not enough and want permanent release for the laureate — who faces more prison time ahead. The short-term freedom decision happened right after serious health concerns made doctors do immediate surgery on her right leg
The well-known human-rights defender will need to return back to finish her sentence despite growing international pressure. Medical experts say she needs proper post-surgery care thats hard to get behind bars
