Imprisoned Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi urgently needs specialized medical care for a severe heart condition, her brother revealed to Reuters.

Mohammadi, awarded the Nobel Prize in 2023 for her human rights activism, experienced a suspected heart attack in March and was hospitalized in May due to worsening health. Her current treatment facility lacks the resources to provide adequate care, according to her family.

Both the Mohammadi family and the Norwegian Nobel Committee are pressing Iranian authorities for her transfer to her specialized medical team in Tehran. Her brother emphasized her resilience against the regime, calling for global attention to Iran's human rights issues amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
