🇲🇽#Mexico Junto con otros tres mandatos de @un_sp_experts, hemos dirigido una comunicación al Estado Mexicano en seguimiento al caso de Kenia Hernández, defensora amuzga privada de la libertad desde octubre del 2020.  Luego de emitir esta comunicación, recibí información actualizada que mantiene mi preocupación sobre el mismo: durante el mes de julio se reabrió una de las causas federales en contra de la defensora, se reabrió pese a que un juez haya señalado que vincularla a proceso en esta causa implicaría criminalizar su activismo.

📍MEXICO Front Line Defenders together with other international, Mexican and Oaxacan organisations, celebrate the release of Indigenous human rights defender Pablo López Alavez — after 15 years, 7 months and 12 days of arbitrary detention. 🌳🌎A Zapotec forest defender from the community of San Isidro Aloapam, Oaxaca, Pablo was detained, tortured and accused of homicide on 15 August 2010. He was convicted on evidence riddled with inconsistencies, while the defence’s proof that he was elsewhere when the crime occurred was never properly considered. The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention later concluded his imprisonment was arbitrary and motivated by his legitimate work in environmental defence. His release on 27 March came only after a fight for justice and freedom of over 15 years led by his wife, defender Yolanda Pérez Cruz, alongside Oaxacan, Mexican and international civil society organisations. His release followed a revised legal classification of the offence and time already served — but the conviction still stand We call on Mexican authorities to overturn the ruling and acquit Pablo, and to guarantee comprehensive protection for him and his family, who remain displaced and under threat. 🔗Read the joint statement: frontlinedefenders.org/en/st… #JusticeForPabloLópezAlavez #HumanRights #DefendingHumanRightsIsARight

La lauréate du prix Nobel de la paix, Narges Mohammadi, est sortie du service de soins intensifs (CCU) de l'hôpital Pars de Téhéran le 17 mai 2026 et a pu regagner son domicile. Au cours des prochaines semaines, elle devra assurer le suivi de ses complications médicales auprès de son équipe soignante par le biais de visites hospitalières et de séances quotidiennes de physiothérapie en ambulatoire. Selon les médecins spécialistes, notamment des cardiologues et des neurologues, il est absolument vital qu'elle reste sous surveillance médicale étroite et qu'elle bénéficie de soins thérapeutiques spécialisés. Elle a besoin de repos et de soins dédiés dans un environnement calme, totalement exempt de tout facteur de stress externe, pendant une période minimale de huit mois avant que l'on puisse observer une amélioration potentielle de ses symptômes. Nous, la Fondation Narges, exhortons la communauté internationale à maintenir sa solidarité indéfectible envers Narges Mohammadi. Nous exigeons l'arrêt immédiat et définitif de toutes ses peines de prison, l'abandon inconditionnel de toutes les charges retenues contre elle. En outre, nous réclamons la libération immédiate et inconditionnelle de tous les prisonniers politiques, avec une urgence particulière pour les femmes et les mères de famille qui restent injustement incarcérées ou qui font face à la menace imminente d'une réincarcération. #FreeNarges narges.foundation/nobel-peac…

BREAKING NEWS: Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi has been transferred to a Tehran hospital May 10th, 2026 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Narges Mohammadi, after 10 days of hospitalization in Zanjan, has been granted a sentence suspension on heavy bail. Her transfer via ambulance has been completed, and she is now at Tehran Pars Hospital to be treated by her own medical team. On behalf of the Narges Foundation and her family, we thank the international community for their unwavering solidarity. However, a suspension is not enough; Narges Mohammadi require permanent, specialized care. We must ensure she never returns to prison to face the 18 years remaining on her sentence. Now is the time to demand her unconditional freedom and the dismissal of all charges. No human and women’s rights activists should ever be imprisoned for their peaceful work. In a post on X, her lawyer Mostafa Nili stated: “Today, Narges Mohammadi was discharged from Zanjan Hospital following an order halting her sentence for medical treatment. She was transferred by ambulance to Pars Hospital in Tehran, where she has been admitted. This order was issued in accordance with the Legal Medicine Organization’s assessment that she requires specialized care outside of prison under the supervision of her own medical team due to multiple illnesses.” narges.foundation/breaking-n…

BREAKING NEWS : Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi Transferred to Hospital The Narges Foundation has been informed that Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi was urgently transferred to a hospital in Zanjan today following a catastrophic deterioration of her health, including two episodes of complete loss of consciousness and a severe cardiac crisis. This transfer was done as an unavoidable necessity after prison doctors determined her condition could not be managed on-site, despite standing medical recommendations that she be treated by her specialized team in Tehran. Her family, who has advocated for weeks for her transfer to adequate facilities, described this transfer as a desperate, "last-minute" action that may be too late to address her critical needs. #FreeNarges #NargesMohammadi

Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Narges Mohammadi is spending her 124th day of imprisonment in Zanjan Central Prison while her health faces a grave threat. During two in-person visits on April 28 and April 11, 2026 conducted in the presence of prison authorities with her family and legal team, clear signs of a deterioration in her general condition were observed, and her physical state was described as “critical.” Hamidreza Mohammadi, Narges Mohammadi’s brother, stated: "My family managed to have an in-person meeting with Narges on Saturday, April 11. They reported that she has become extremely weak and has suffered significant weight loss. Narges is being held in a cell with prisoners charged with murder and has been threatened with death by some of these inmates several times." Narges Mohammadi, who has long suffered from severe chest pain, suffered a heart attack on March 24, 2026 and lost consciousness in the women's ward of Zanjan Prison. This state lasted for more than an hour and 15 minutes, raising serious concerns about her health. Hamidreza Mohammadi continued: "Following the heart attack, she was referred to a cardiologist in Zanjan on March 30. This physician identified the medications prescribed by the prison's general practitioner as factors contributing to the heart attack and refused to prescribe new medication or perform any treatment without the opinion of Narges’s trusted attending physician at Pars Hospital in Tehran. He also emphasized that Narges must be under the supervision of her own doctor and warned of the risk of a recurrent heart attack."
