“After over a decade of imprisonment, Narges required specialized medical care in a safe, sanitary environment – a basic human right,” the foundation said.
Mohammadi has spent most of the past two decades as an inmate of Tehran’s Evin prison – notorious for housing critics of the Iranian regime.
“Weeks of enduring excruciating pain in prison, despite tireless advocacy from fellow inmates, human rights organizations, and international figures, highlights the persistent disregard for Narges Mohammadi’s basic human rights and the inhumane treatment she endures,” the foundation added.
While in prison, Mohammadi has continued to campaign for human rights causes, lobbying for the rights of Iranian women and calling for a peaceful resolution to the war in Gaza.
Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is among the high-profile figures to have recently called for her release.
