Iranian Nobel winner Mohammadi moved to Tehran hospital

"Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been transferred to a hospital in Iran's capital Tehran for medical treatment, a foundation run by her family said Sunday.

"Ten days ago, Mohammadi was hospitalized in the northwestern city of Zanjan, where she was imprisoned, after collapsing in her prison cell. Mohammadi's husband, Taghi Rahmani, who lives in Paris, also confirmed on social media that she had been transferred to Tehran.

Mohammadi had a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in her lung) from before her latest imprisonment in De"
