Supporters say a Nobel Peace Prize laureate imprisoned in Iran may have suffered a heart attack
Dubai, Mar 31 (AP) Supporters of Iran’s imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi say she may have suffered a heart attack.
Mohammadi’s legal team, accompanied by one family member, visited her in Zanjan Prison on March 29, according to a statement Tuesday from the Free Narges Coalition campaign.
“Her general health was extremely poor, and she appeared pale and weak with significant weight loss,” it said. It cited her fellow inmates as saying she was found unconscious in her bed with her eyes rolled back on March 24.
“Despite this medical emergency and evident indications of a heart attack, authorities refused to transfer Mohammadi to a hospital or allow her to visit a specialist,” the statement said.
Mohammadi has a heart condition and suffered multiple heart attacks while imprisoned before undergoing emergency surgery in 2022, her supporters say. (AP) SKS SKS
