Interview with Shirin Ebadi
Shirin Ebadi, age 56, has fought for women’s rights, children’s rights and human rights for years, defending political activists and other human rights lawyers. Ebadi was Iran’s first woman judge before the 1979 Islamic revolution — at which point she was fired by the mullahs. As a lawyer, writer and part-time lecturer at Tehran University, she has argued that there is no contradiction between Islam and human rights. She has been previously jailed for her defense of political activists. Currently Shirin Ebadi has taken on the case of Zahra Kazemi, the Canadian journalist murdered in Iran.
