Iran Temporarily Frees Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi for Medical Leave

Iranian authorities have temporarily released Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi from prison for 21 days to recover from surgery for suspected cancer, a decision criticized by her family as insufficient. Mohammadi, a prominent human rights activist, has been imprisoned for over a decade, accused of acting against national security. Her family and supporters argue she is a political prisoner targeted for her advocacy for women's rights and democracy. The temporary release is a suspension of her sentence, not a medical furlough, meaning she will serve additional time upon return.
