Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi was temporarily released from prison for 21 days following a surgery in Iran where part of her right leg bone was removed due to cancer concerns. The campaign for her release demands permanent freedom and at least three months of medical care.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi was released temporarily from prison Wednesday after undergoing a complex surgery in Iran that saw part of a bone in her right leg removed over cancer fears, her supporters said. A campaign on Mohammadi's behalf said she would be free for 21 days, but would have to serve the remaining prison time later.
She has kept up her activism despite numerous arrests by Iranian authorities and spending years behind bars. That includes backing the nationwide, women-led protests sparked by the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini. Mohammadi suffered multiple heart attacks while imprisoned before undergoing emergency surgery in 2022, her supporters say. In November of this year, her lawyer announced that doctors found a bone lesion that they feared could be cancerous, leading to her surgery.
