Amnesty InternationalHuman rights defender Narges Mohammadi, a prisoner of conscience, has been returned from hospital to Tehran’s Evin prison, though she is critically ill and her doctor has advised against discontinuing her specialized treatment. Narges Mohammadi was taken from Tehran’s Evin prison to a hospital on 11 October after suffering a seizure. She suffers from pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in her lungs) and a neurological disorder that can result in seizures and temporary partial paralysis. Her treatment was disrupted on 28 October when she was returned to Evin prison against her doctor’s advice. Her husband, Taghi Rahamani, has told Amnesty International that the authorities handcuffed her to the hospital bed for her first few days in hospital. They also had officers inside the room and at the door the entire time she was there.
