The family of imprisoned human rights activist Narges Mohammadi has accused the Iranian regime of putting her life at risk by withholding a crucial surgery needed to confirm her cancer diagnosis. Mohammadi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate known for her advocacy for women's rights and human rights in Iran, has been detained in Tehran's Evin prison for most of the past two decades.
Recently, doctors detected a suspicious bone lesion in Mohammadi's right leg, raising concerns of bone cancer. However, Iranian authorities have delayed providing the necessary biopsy for a clear diagnosis, prompting fears that any further delays in treatment could prove fatal for the activist.
