Urgent Family Report on the Critical Health Status of Narges Mohammadi in Prison In the past month, prison authorities have prevented Narges Mohammadi from leaving prison to undergo angiography on three separate occasions: September 11, September 18, and October 1, 2024. Based on the diagnosis and written orders from a cardiologist on March 19, 2024, Narges was to be urgently transferred to the hospital for angiography in June 2024. After more than a month of delays, Narges was finally transferred to a hospital on July 7, 2024. During this transfer, doctors observed a fatty bump in her right breast, and a biopsy was performed immediately. Following the procedure, Narges was returned to prison to await the biopsy results and the specialists' diagnoses, which would determine whether breast surgery or angiography should take priority. She would be sent back to the hospital for further treatment afterward. According to the doctors, angiography was deemed a priority and should be performed immediately. Since then, Narges's lawyers, Mr. Mostafa Nili and Ms. Shadi Halimi, have continuously followed up and made repeated visits to various legal authorities, including the public prosecutor’s office, prison administration, and prison medical staff. However, their efforts have not produced any results regarding the requests and written orders from specialists, nor have they addressed Narges’s letters from inside the prison concerning the angiography scheduled for September 10, September 17, and October 1. After the prison medical staff, health department, and prison administration announced that the prosecutor’s office had granted permission for Narges's transfer to the hospital, her exit from prison was denied once again on the scheduled transfer day, October 1. Several of Narges's fellow inmates, who have been worried about her physical condition for months, have approached the prison authorities. The officials stated that the prosecutor’s office had issued the transfer authorization; however, they received an order from outside the prison that opposed Narges's exit and transfer, rendering the transfer impossible. We, the family of Narges Mohammadi, urgently reiterate that the ongoing preventions and objections from security and judicial authorities, along with their lack of accountability regarding Narges's treatment and medical care, are putting her health at grave risk and are deeply alarming. We implore human rights organizations to take immediate action and follow up on this critical situation. Family of Narges Mohammadi October 3, 2024 - Paris

«گزارش خانواده از وضعیت سلامت و جسمانی نرگس محمدی در زندان اوین»

طی یک ماه گذشته، سه بار (در تاریخ‌های ۲۰ و ۲۷ شهریور و ۱۰ مهر) از خروج نرگس محمدی از زندان و اعزام او به بیمارستان برای انجام آنژیوگرافی ممانعت شده است

بر اساس تشخیص و دستور کتبی پزشک متخصص قلب در تاریخ بیست و نهم اسفند ۱۴۰۲، نرگس می بایست جهت انجام آنژیوگرافی در خرداد ماه ۱۴۰۳ به بیمارستان اعزام می شد.

پس از بیش از یک ماه تاخیر او در تاریخ شانزدهم تیر به بیمارستان اعزام شد. در بررسی های انجام شده، توده ای در سینه راست او مشاهده و بلافاصله نمونه برداری انجام شد. نرگس به زندان بازگردانده شد تا پس از اعلام نتیجه نمونه برداری و تشخیص پزشکان متخصص برای تصمیم گیری در مورد اولویت جراحی سینه یا عمل آنژیوگرافی، مجددا به بیمارستان بازگردانده شود.

طبق نظر پزشکان مقرر شده بود که عمل آنژیوگرافی فورا انجام شود.

از آن زمان پی گیری های بی وقفه وکلای نرگس؛ آقای مصطفی نیلی و خانم شادی حلیمی و مراجعات مکرر آنها به مراجع قانونی – دادیاری، ریاست زندان و بهداری زندان- و ارائه درخواستها و دستورات کتبی پزشکان متخصص و از سویی نامه های نرگس در داخل زندان جهت انجام عمل آنژیوگرافی در تاریخ های ۲۰ شهریور، ۲۷ شهریور و ۱۰ مهر بی نتیجه مانده است.
پس از اعلام ریاست بهداری، معاونت سلامت و ریاست زندان مبنی بر صدور مجوز اعزام از سوی دادستانی به نرگس ، مجددا روز اعزام( ۱۰ مهر) اجازه خروج از زندان داده نشده است.
تعدادی از هم بندی های نرگس که ماه‌هاست نگران وضعیت جسمی او هستند، به مسئولان مراجعه کرده اند. مسئولان زندان اعلام کرده اند که مجوزِ دادستانی و مجوز اعزام زندان صادر شده بود، اما با دستور مخالفت با خروج و اعزام نرگس از خارج از زندان مواجه شدیم و اعزام ممکن نشد.

ما، خانواده نرگس محمدی، بدینوسیله یک بار دیگر اعلام می‌کنیم که ممانعت های مکرر و مخالفت‌های نهادهای امنیتی و قضایی، بدون پاسخگویی در روند درمان و رسیدگی‌های پزشکی نرگس، به‌طور آشکار سلامت او را مورد هدف قرار داده و امری نگران ‌کننده است. از مراجع حقوق بشری درخواست پیگیری داریم.
