On Friday the campaigner - who was arrested in December after speaking out against the Islamic Republic - was "urgently transferred to a hospital in Zanjan today" after a rapid deterioration, "including two episodes of complete loss of consciousness and a severe cardiac crisis". 

Supporters said on Tuesday that she was currently hanging "between life and death" in the Zanjan hospital.
