Incarcerated since November 2021, Narges Mohammadi, Nobel Peace Prize winner, was released from prison for three weeks due to her state of health. “Woman life freedom,” chanted the Iranian activist as she left, according to her husband.
In Iran, the defense of Narges Mohammadi, Nobel Peace Prize winner and incarcerated since November 2021, announced that she had been released from prison on Wednesday, December 4, for three weeks due to her state of health.
“Woman life freedom,” she chanted as she left, according to her husband.
“According to the opinion of the forensic doctor, the Tehran prosecutor’s office suspended the execution of Narges Mohammadi’s sentence for three weeks,” said his lawyer, Me Mostafa Nili, specifying that the activist “was released from prison”.
Narges Mohammadi, 52, has been repeatedly convicted and imprisoned for 25 years for her commitment against the compulsory veil imposed on women and against the death penalty. She has spent much of the last decade in prison.
“The reason for his release is his physical condition after the removal of a tumor and a bone graft, carried out 21 days ago,” stressed Mr. Nili. “The removed tumor was benign, but [Narges Mohammadi] must be examined every three months,” said his lawyer.
“Propaganda against the state”
In Iran, women have been required to follow a strict dress code requiring them to hide their hair in public places since the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
