Nobel winner Narges Mohammadi's health at risk after quick return to Iranian prison

In a troubling turn of events Narges Mohammadi who got Nobel Peace Prize last year had to go through a hard-to-do surgery in Iran. Doctors took out part of her leg bone because they thought it might be cancer-related (which made everyone real worried)

The rights groups got super-busy after hearing that prison officials didnt give her time to heal and sent her back to jail right away. More than forty activist groups wrote to UN Human Rights Council: they want her out on medical leave since her health needs watching

The whole thing started getting more attention since she got that big prize about a year ago. Her case shows how Iran deals with people who speak up — they keep them locked up even when theyre sick. The international community keeps saying her charges dont make sense; its just another way to keep her quiet
