BREAKING NEWS : Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi Transferred to Hospital The Narges Foundation has been informed that Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi was urgently transferred to a hospital in Zanjan today following a catastrophic deterioration of her health, including two episodes of complete loss of consciousness and a severe cardiac crisis. This transfer was done as an unavoidable necessity after prison doctors determined her condition could not be managed on-site, despite standing medical recommendations that she be treated by her specialized team in Tehran. Her family, who has advocated for weeks for her transfer to adequate facilities, described this transfer as a desperate, "last-minute" action that may be too late to address her critical needs. #FreeNarges #NargesMohammadi

On 21 April, we mark the birthday of Narges Mohammadi, who turns 54 today, while spending her 130th day back in prison for her peaceful activism. Born on 21 April 1972, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate has dedicated her life to the fight for democracy, freedom, and women’s rights in Iran. For her commitment, she has been arrested 14 times, prosecuted in 10 cases, and sentenced to a total of 44 years in prison. She has already spent over a decade behind bars and still faces many more years. She has endured at least 161 days in solitary confinement under what is known as “white torture.” She has not been able to hug her children since 2015. Most recently, she was arrested again on 12 December 2025 and remains imprisoned to this day. On her birthday, we honor her courage, resilience, and unwavering commitment to justice and we hope and fight for her freedom everyday, until she is free. Free Narges now.

The Free Narges Coalition is gravely concerned regarding the well-being and denial of independent medical care for Narges Mohammadi, based on recent reports received from Iran. On 29 March–after weeks of persistent follow-up and despite the compounded difficulties amid the armed conflict and shutdown of virtually all forms of communications by the Iranian government, Mohammadi’s legal team, accompanied by one family member, visited her in Zanjan Prison under heightened security surveillance. Her general health was extremely poor, and she appeared pale and weak with significant weight loss when brought to the visitation room by a prison nurse. The Free Narges Coalition Steering Committee said: “Narges Mohammadi’s life is in imminent danger, and we call on Iranian authorities to heed our warning and provide the medical care that she urgently needs, by granting her an immediate medical furlough. The violation of the ‘principle of separation of crimes’, housing Mohammadi with violent offenders despite her critical heart disease and recent physical trauma and injuries, coupled with wartime conditions and explosions now directly threatening prisoners’ lives and well-being, are exacerbating this threat to her life. Furthermore, we call for the immediate release on humanitarian grounds of all jailed human rights defenders, writers, and journalists; under these dangerous conditions, their safety can only be guaranteed by their removal from prisons and other detention zones, and Iranian law has provisions for their temporary release during wartime.” Read Full Statement : frontlinedefenders.org/en/st… #FreeNarges #Iran #FreePoliticalPrisoners #War

Fifty-five days have passed since December 12, the day of Narges Mohammadi's violent arrest by security forces in Mashhad northeast Iran. According to credible information obtained by the Narges Foundation, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate began a hunger strike on Monday, February 2, to protest her continued unlawful detention, her dire holding conditions, and the denial of contact with her family or lawyers, realities faced by numerous prisoners currently held in Iran. Human rights activist Sepideh Gholian and Human rights lawyer Javad Alikordi, who were also arrested on the same day after the memorial ceremony for human rights lawyer Khosrow Alikordi, remain in detention. “As her family, we are gravely concerned for her life. She, along with all political prisoners in Iran, must be released immediately." — Kiana Rahmani, Co-President of Narges Foundation In these harrowing days for Iran, we call upon human rights organizations, activists, and the international community to center their attention on political prisoners and implement urgent, practical measures to safeguard their lives. This includes those facing the imminent risk of execution, targets of state-sanctioned killing, as well as their families and all individuals who have been arbitrarily detained, forcibly disappeared, or killed. “My mother was speaking for the executed, the killed, and the disappeared. She is incredibly brave, as are all the women and people of Iran, and I admire them all deeply.” — Ali Rahmani, Co-President of the Narges Foundation Read Statement : narges.foundation/breaking-n…

Following a bloody crackdown on protesters in Iran, during which tens of thousands of demonstrators were reportedly killed or wounded and tens of thousands more arrested or forcibly disappeared, the Islamic Republic has sought to silence calls for freedom by tightening restrictions and expanding an atmosphere of repression across society. At the same time, 53 days have passed since the re-arrest of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, and there is still no independent or verifiable information about her health or condition, a situation that is deeply concerning. According to the prosecutor’s office, Mohammadi will be permitted telephone contact only if she adheres to the “rules” set by judicial and security authorities regarding what she may say. In effect, contact is treated not as a right, but as a conditional privilege dependent on silence and self-censorship. Conditioning a detainee’s communication with family and her ability to report on her situation in this way constitutes unlawful pressure and restrictions. Mohammadi has refused these terms, a decision that clearly reflects her preference to forgo contact rather than accept language and narratives imposed by interrogators, even at the cost of continued uncertainty and distress for her family.

BREAKING NEWS Nobel laureate Mohammadi taken to hospital twice after violent arrest in Iran 15 December 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi made a brief phone call to her family late on 14 December 2025, after nearly three days with no information about her whereabouts, and described details of her arrest, her family said. In this very short and compressed call, she explained that on 12 Dec 2025 in front of a mosque near Mashhad where the memorial ceremony for Khosrow Alikordi Iranian lawyer and human rights activist was being held, she was attacked by plain clothed agents with severe and repeated baton blows to the head and neck and was then violently arrested while being threatened and told: “We will put your mother into mourning”, a direct death threat. Narges Mohammadi said in the call that the intensity of the blows was so heavy, forceful, and repeated that she was taken to the hospital emergency room twice. She emphasized that she does not even know which security authority is currently detaining her, and that no explanation has been given in this regard. Her physical condition at the time of the call was not good, and she appeared unwell. In her conversation with her family in Iran, she asked her legal team to immediately and without delay file a formal complaint against the detaining security body and the violent manner of her arrest. According to Narges Mohammadi, during and after her arrest, she was accused of “cooperating with the Israeli government”, and through the use of extreme violence they attempted to eliminate her, as they had previously threatened to do. She said these were the same so-called “self-authorized” forces who, a few months ago, had also warned her lawyers in Tehran that they intended her “physical elimination.” Eyewitnesses cited by the family said that around 15 plainclothes agents attacked Mohammadi on 12 December. Some were seen pulling her hair while others beat her with clubs and batons, primarily targeting her head and neck. Tear gas was also used at the scene.The family said that activists Sepideh Gholian and Pouran Nazemi were also beaten during the incident. Several other detained civil activists, including Alieh Motalebzadeh, Pouran Nazemi, and Hasti Amiri, have since made brief phone calls to their families, according to the statement.
