Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi has been released from jail for three weeks on medical grounds, according to her lawyer.
Mostafa Nili said officials had suspended his client’s jail sentence on doctor’s advice after Ms Mohammadi underwent surgery to remove a tumour.
Her family and supporters have called for her to be freed permanently, describing the temporary release as "too little, too late".
The 52-year-old women’s rights activist has been held in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison since 2021.
