Iranian Nobel laureate taken to hospital after ‘violent arrest’, family says
Iranian Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi was reportedly taken to the hospital following a “violent arrest” at her home in Tehran, according to a statement from her family. The incident occurred on Tuesday morning when security forces entered her residence and detained her without providing a reason for the arrest, as per her family’s communication.
Ebadi’s family expressed concerns over her wellbeing, citing her age and underlying health conditions. They have called for her immediate release and proper medical attention. The Iranian authorities have not released any official statement regarding the arrest or her current status.
Shirin Ebadi, a human rights lawyer, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003 for her efforts in promoting democracy and defending the rights of women, children, and political prisoners in Iran. She has faced harassment and persecution from the Iranian government in the past due to her activism.
The circumstances surrounding Ebadi’s arrest remain unclear, with her family demanding transparency and adherence to legal procedures. The incident has raised concerns among human rights organizations and the international community, who have called for her release and respect for her fundamental rights.
