Mohammadi was arrested in December at a memorial in Mashhad for Khosrow Alikordi, a 46-year-old local lawyer and human rights advocate. The Narges Mohammadi Foundation said she had been on a week-long hunger strike that ended on Sunday because her health had deteriorated. “Her continued detention is life threatening and a violation of human rights laws,” the foundation said. Mohammadi is a deputy director of the Defenders of Human Rights Center and a long-time campaigner against capital punishment and corruption. Lawyers and rights monitors will seek court documents and clarifications on how the Mashhad verdict interacts with Mohammadi’s existing sentences.
