Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian human rights activist and 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has been discharged from a hospital in Tehran and allowed to return home, according to her eponymous foundation, which is run by her family. The 54-year-old had spent nearly three weeks receiving treatment after suffering a heart attack in late March while imprisoned at Zanjan Prison, a facility in northern Iran. Her sentence was temporarily suspended following the payment of bail, the amount of which has not been disclosed.

Mohammadi's family says her health deteriorated sharply in prison, where she was denied access to a cardiologist despite developing serious heart, lung and blood pressure problems. Her daughter, Kiana Rahmani, warned that returning her to detention would amount to a death sentence.
