Narges Mohammadi, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, has begun a hunger strike while detained by Iranian authorities, according to her family's foundation. The strike, which started on Monday, is a protest against her continued detention and the harsh conditions faced by political prisoners in Iran. Mohammadi's family has expressed grave concern for her health, citing her history of serious medical issues and limited contact with loved ones since her arrest in December. Despite being on medical furlough, Mohammadi continued her activism, participating in protests and supporting movements for women's rights and human rights in Iran. Her detention and current hunger strike have drawn renewed international attention to the plight of political prisoners in the country.
