Where things stand
Updated May 14, 08:01 AMNo independent verification has been obtained for any reports concerning the health of imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi. Circulating accounts, including claims of a collapse and subsequent medical diagnoses, are unconfirmed. The wire service continues to seek corroboration from multiple independent sources. Until such confirmation is available, all details regarding her condition, medical care, and the response of Iranian authorities remain unverified. International human rights groups and Nobel laureates have voiced concern, but their statements also lack independent verification by this service. The situation is developing, and all unverified reports should be treated with caution.
