Iranian authorities have released Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi on bail amid growing concerns over her deteriorating health, and she was transferred to a Tehran hospital, according to her foundation.

“Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Narges Mohammadi, after 10 days of hospitalization in Zanjan, has been granted a sentence suspension on heavy bail.

“Her transfer via ambulance has been completed, and she is now at Tehran Pars Hospital to be treated by her own medical team,” the foundation said through US social media company X.
