Narges Mohammadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, suffered blows from security personnel who arrested her on December 12 and had to be transported to the hospital emergency room twice, her family told the Narges Foundation on Monday.
After three decades of advocating for women's rights and the abolition of the death sentence in Iran, the human rights activist received the prize while incarcerated in 2023. After being freed late last year, she was jailed again on Friday after criticising the strange murder of attorney Khosrow Alikordi.
Mohammadi and Alikordi's brother made offensive remarks at the lawyer's burial service in the northeastern city of Mashhad, encouraging others in attendance "to chant norm-breaking slogans" and "disturb the peace," Mashhad prosecutor Hasan Hematifar told reporters on Saturday.

What was said by the relatives of Mohammadi?
Mohammadi called her family late on Sunday, according to the family-run Narges Foundation.
"Narges Mohammadi said in the call that the intensity of the blows was so heavy, forceful, and repeated that she was taken to the hospital emergency room twice... Her physical condition at the time of the call was not good, and she appeared unwell," the foundation stated in a post on X.
Mohammadi was freed from Tehran's Evin prison in December of last year after her sentence was suspended so she could receive medical care.She told her family that security officials had accused her of "cooperating with the Israeli government" and had threatened to kill her. As a result, she asked her legal team to submit a formal complaint against the detaining security body and the brutality of her detention.
The Iranian government did not immediately respond.
