The Norwegian Nobel Committee calls on the Iranian authorities to immediately transfer Narges Mohammadi to her dedicated medical team in Tehran Without such treatment, her life remain at risk.
 
The Committee is in ongoing contact with her family and lawyer, who confirm that her condition has deteriorated seriously. Last night she was admited to a local hopsital in the city of Zanjan, following a severe cardiac crisis and repeated loss of consciousness. 
 
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Narges Mohammadi is imprisoned solely for her peaceful human rights work. Her life is now in the hands of the Iranian authorities.
