In a statement addressed to human rights organizations,the family said that their recent visit to Narges Mohammadi revealed a cleat deterioration in her health condition, noting that doctors at Zanjan Prison had officially informed the prison administration that her condition                                                requires urgent transfer to a specialized hospital. Despite this, according to the family, the Tehran prosecutor's office continues to illegally block her transfer.

Narges Mohammadi is one of the most prominent human rights voices in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 in recognition of her struggle against the death penalty and her continuous defense of women's rights.

Iranian authorities had temporarily released her in December 2024 after she underwent surgery to remove a tumor, but she was rearrested in December 2025 and returned to prison despite her critical health condition.

She faces harsh judicial sentences: the Iranian judiciary sentenced her to six years in prison on charges of "organization and planning," in addition to one and a half years for "spreading false news," along with a two‑year travel ban.
