Taghi Rahmani, the husband of incarcerated human rights activist Narges Mohammadi has informed BBC Farsi that in a brief telephone conversation with her family, Mohammadi informed them of the recurrence of her paralysis.

According to Rahmani, after speaking to her children, Mohammadi spoke with her mother-in-law, informing her that on the evening of Sunday May 6th, 2012 she became dizzy, falling to the ground several times and on one occasion even banged her head on the floor.

Rahmani stated that Mohammadi who began serving her prison sentence at Evin two weeks ago, has once again been interrogated.  Rahmani who himself currently lives abroad claimed that Mohammadi’s latest interrogation is nothing but a pressure tactic and no different than ”hostage taking”.

Rahimi added that his wife suffered from neurological shock in the aftermath of the 2009 mass arrests and it took months of treatment in order to cure her from her paralysis.  This latest arrest and interrogation process has led to the recurrence of her condition.

Mohammadi Deputy Director and spokeswoman for the Defenders of Human Rights Center and Chairperson to the Executive Board of the National Peace Council was arrested by security agents on Saturday April 21st 2012 at her father’s house in Zanjan and transferred to Evin prison in Tehran.

In May 2009, Mohammadi was summoned to the 4th branch of the Revolutionary Court as a result of her membership in the Defenders of Human Rights Center (DHRC).  After defending her case in court she was released on 40,000 USD bail. She was once again arrested by security agents at her residence in the middle of the night on June 9th of the same year and released after one month in prison.

Those close to Mohammadi report her physical condition as alarming and Rahmani has also expressed concern regarding their two young twins that have been forced to live without their mother.
