Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi released on bail for hospitalization

“She requires ongoing, specialized care. We must ensure that she never returns to prison, that she does not have to serve the remaining 18 years of her sentence. We must now demand that she be released unconditionally and that all charges be dropped,” the foundation said.

Iranian lawyer Mohammadi Mostafa Nili said that the decision to transfer to the hospital was made by the Legal Medical Organization – a medical commission appointed by the authorities, which recognized that, due to the condition, it should be treated not by prison doctors, but by its own doctors.

After her arrest in November 2021, the 54-year-old human rights activist began serving several sentences totaling 13 years and 9 months. In December 2024, she was temporarily released from prison for medical reasons for three weeks, but under pressure from Western countries she remained free for almost a year.

She was arrested on December 12, 2025 in Mashhad along with other activists after a ceremony in memory of human rights activist Khosrow Alikordi. She was sentenced to another six years in prison on charges of “information collection and conspiracy” and a year and a half “for propaganda.”
