The Free Narges Coalition stated in a press release that Mohammadi should be granted a medical furlough to obtain complete remedy for a number of circumstances. It stated that simply transferring her to the hospital is not going to deal with the extreme well being points attributable to months of neglect and deprivation.

Mohammadi is being held at Iran’s infamous Evin Jail, which homes political prisoners and people with western ties. She already had been serving a 30-month sentence, to which 15 extra months have been added in January.

On Saturday, Iranian authorities issued a further six-month sentence towards her after she protested the execution of one other political prisoner within the ladies’s ward of Evin Jail on Aug. 6.
