Shirin Ebadi--2003 Nobel Peace Prize Winner--Iran Awakening
Update--Iran Election and what Ebadi said on Thursday, June 18th

SHIRIN EBADI, Iranian Nobel Peace Prize-Winner (through translator): "I think that if new elections are organized, but if there are no international observers, no matter what the outcome of these new elections would be, it could be protested and rejected by one or the other parties." (The News Hour with Jim Lehrer)

For our last book, we are reading the memoir of Shirin Ebadi, who lives in Iran and has defended the rights of many people against oppression in Iran. She has particularly worked for the rights of women and defended them in her role as an attorney. This interview with her is from 2006 posted on the website for New American Media. She made a speech that you can read or listen to at the Nobel Peace Prize location. She also spoke at Berkeley in California on "The Struggle for Human Rights."
The women of Iran are waging a campaign to get One Million signatures for their rights--to change ten laws. Listen to another Iranian women activist speak about this campaign.
