In a concerning development, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi recently underwent a complex surgery in Iran to remove part of a bone in her right leg over cancer fears. Despite the seriousness of the procedure, Mohammadi was promptly returned to prison, raising significant risks to her life, according to rights groups.
A letter signed by over 40 activist groups was sent to the United Nations Human Rights Council, urging for Mohammadi's immediate release on a medical furlough from her prison sentence. This move comes as part of a broader pressure campaign on Iran over Mohammadi's detention since being honored by the Nobel committee last year.
