Activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi has been temporarily released in Iran to receive urgent medical treatment. According to her supporters, she suffered two suspected heart attacks while incarcerated in Zanjan prison. Although she is out of her cell, she remains under legal measures and her future is still uncertain.
Cardiac monitoring systems in high-security environments 💓
Telemedicine technology and portable ECG devices have advanced to allow constant monitoring of patients in extreme conditions. However, in high-security prisons, the implementation of these systems is often limited by lack of infrastructure or restrictions on mobile signal access. A heart rate sensor connected to a local network could alert medical staff to a crisis, but few prisons in the world have that level of equipment.
The heart of resistance beats (and sometimes stops) 💔
It is curious that in a country where even the internet pulse is controlled, they cannot control the real pulse of a prominent prisoner. Two heart attacks in custody and the solution is medical bail, as if the heart were asking for paid leave from the regime. At least cardiac monitoring technology remains more reliable than Iranian justice, which only beats when it suits it.
