Iranian authorities have allowed imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to be hospitalised after almost nine weeks of feeling sick, a group campaigning for the activist said on Sunday.

The Free Narges Coalition said in a statement that Ms Mohammadi must be granted a medical furlough to receive comprehensive treatment for multiple conditions.
