DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been released from a hospital in Tehran after more than two weeks, her supporters said Monday.
They called for Mohammadi, 54, to remain at home to receive follow-up care and daily physiotherapy.
Mohammadi was urgently transferred from prison to a hospital in northwestern Iran on May 1 after she fell unconscious. She was released on bail nearly 10 days later and transferred to the hospital in Tehran, where specialists examined her.
She was awarded the Nobel in 2023 while in prison and has been jailed repeatedly throughout her career. Her latest imprisonment began in December when she was arrested in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad.

“Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been released from a hospital in Tehran after more than two weeks”. They aren’t very nice over there.
She was famous because of the booby prize, so they didn’t want her to die in jail. Bad look internationally, reminiscent of Steve Biko and all. So she got medical attention.
.......The 2023 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi (born 1972) “for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all.”.......

For an anti-regime Iranian, the Nobel Peace Prize is NOT a booby prize!
54 is young! Her ill health is the result of her mistreatment in prison! May our gracious God free her from the vicious mullah regime, and bring the Iranian/Persian people into His Holy Church!

Your holy martyrs Simeon, Isaac, and Bachtisius, O Lord, / through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God. / For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through their intercessions, save our souls!
“For an anti-regime Iranian, the Nobel Peace Prize is NOT a booby prize!”
The prize demeans her, as it would Donald Trump. The prize was given to Yasser Arafat and BHO, FGSK! But even so, she deserves a real prize one day, for standing up to that evil regime. Perhaps Trump will award one, or a grateful Congress, or better yet, the newly-liberated nation of Iran.
