Iran releases Narges Mohammadi on bail for medical treatment
Iranian authorities have released Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi on bail and transferred her to Tehran for medical treatment, according to supporters.
The move came on Sunday after growing alarm over her health.
Supporters said Mohammadi had been held in Zanjan and had suffered two suspected heart attacks while in detention.
They had warned last week that she was at risk of dying in prison.
The latest development suggests authorities have responded to pressure over her condition, though no further official details were given in the supplied material.
Mohammadi won the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize for decades of campaigning for human rights in Iran.
Her case has drawn international attention because of her long-running detention and repeated concerns about her treatment in custody.
The immediate significance is the transfer from prison to medical care in Tehran, which may affect both her health and the wider scrutiny of Iran's handling of prominent detainees.
It also raises questions about the seriousness of the medical concerns reported by her supporters.
