Nobel winner from Iran finally gets medical care after weeks of waiting

In late-october 2024 Iranian officials let Narges Mohammadi — a well-known Nobel Peace Prize recipient get medical help after being sick for almost two-months

The Free Narges Coalition (a group that works to support the activist) says that just going to hospital isnt enough: the Nobel winner needs a full medical-leave to deal with her health issues. Multiple medical problems came up due to poor care in prison — this makes short hospital visits not very helpful

The activistʼs supporters point out that her current state needs more than just basic check-ups: long-term issues require proper medical attention and care. The coalition thinks that keeping her in prison makes it hard to fix these health-related problems (which got worse over many months)
