Any Person who Persues human rights in Iran must live with fear from birth to death, but I have learned to overcome my fear’— Shirin Ebadi, 1999


Shirin Ebadi was the first Muslim women and the first Iranian to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Iran’s first woman judge, she was dismissed following the Islamic Revolution and did not resume her legal career until 1992.
 Shirin Ebadi frequently takes on cases other lawyers refuse, often at considerabale personal risk. She has defended the rights of political dissenters,writers, and intellectuals at risk of arrest, torture and execution and dares to speak out on issues such as women’s rights and equality, religious freedom and freedom of expression.
 The recipient of many prizes and accolades, Shirin Ebadi has written numerous books and articles and lectured on human rights all over the world.
Her autobiography, ‘Iran Awaking: A memoir of revolution and hope’  has just been published: signed copies will be available on the night.
