IRI's contempt for human rights

Read complete article here: //www.iranhumanrights.org/2010/06/ebadi-defam...
Excerpts:
“These baseless attacks on Ebadi and her colleagues on the eve of the anniversary of the election demonstrate her indispensable role in exposing Iran’s grave human rights violations on the international stage,” he added.
Ebadi’s husband, Javad Tavasolian, was arrested in July 2009, and subjected to physical and psychological abuse. He was videotaped while in detention and coerced to make defamatory statements about her. He informed Ebadi about his ill-treatment after his release.
At the time of her husband’s arrest, Ebadi announced members of her family, if arrested, should not to hesitate to make false “confessions” against her since the only reason for their harassment and detention would be to pressure her to stop her human rights advocacy.

no one can taint the

no one can taint the accomplishments of shirin ebadi.  she's a true humanist and a shining example of bravery under this reprehensible and brutal regime.  i feel sorry for the pressure ebadi's family is going through.

a world's treasure.The IRI is so stupid to mention her name.

During the Cold War we Westerners idolized the resisters behind the Iron Curtain,and Mrs. Ebadi seems to be the ONLY person who can bring the nature of Iran's struggle to a world wide audience.The constant chatter of Iranian NukeNews can not be allowed to drown out the story of the human rights drama in Iran.Am I the only one who sees the IRI's attack on her as self defeating ? I'm from far away Texas,but I can imagine 14 year old Iranian girls seeing this,and we know how dangerous little girls can be.

This regime has gone mad (and Stupid)

If the regime was admiring this brave lady, we would have doubted her but the stupid Khameni and his dirty dogs and thugs don't realize that any individual that they smear will only become more respected in the eyes of Iranian. Keep it up Antari Nejad and Ayatol Sheitan Khameni, You are finished!!!

Remember the power of the people (last year)

Iranian National Treasure is in Palestine

I guess that doesn't include Palestine

And you're more worried about Al Qeada in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan than Iranians.

Who cares?

OLDIES LOOSERS

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hey, Hey, Hey

Does anybody hear?

Is there any fresh & young face/voice out there alive?

Do you expect the Iranian government to change its tactics after 30 years?  The same "expose" style used for the finest Iranian intellectuals is used here.  Shirin Ebadi is a source of national pride and hope for all Iranians worldwide.  Her impeccable background and years of pro bono legal services for Iranian prisoners of conscience and her efforts to safeguard the rights of Iranian children earned her the Nobel Peace Prize and the animosity of the likes of Hossein Shariatmadari.  They have obviously captured her poor husband and made him say these things.  We must not hold any of this against Ms. Ebadi or her husband who is doing what many others have had to do under duress and torture in Islamic Republic of Iran.  See this October 2009 article on DW Persian about Shirin Ebadi's family's harassment:

خواهر و همسر شیرین عبادی تهدید شدند
//www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4810594,00.ht...
"به کرات همسر من، خواهر من و برادر من را احضار می‌کنند و مزاحم آنها می‌شوند..."

" من نمی‌دانم این چه قانونی است که به یک کارمند وزارت اطلاعات اجازه می‌دهد خواهر یک مدافع حقوق بشر را که هیچ ارتباطی با فعالیت‌های حقوق بشری او هم ندارد، وادار کنند خانه‌اش را از ساختمانی که درآن اقامت دارد عوض کند. شوهر من را به کرات مورد تهدید قرار داده‌اند که نبایستی با زنت تماس بگیری. از شوهر من شناسنامه و کارت ملی من را مطالبه کرده‌اند که بایستی به آنها بدهد و وقتی همسرم مانع شده، مزاحمت‌هایشان را اضافه کرده‌اند و بسیاری مسائل دیگر که امیدوارم روزی با حاکمیت قانون به این بی‌قانونی‌ها در ایران خاتمه داده شود."

"اینها تهمت‌هایی است که این روزی‌نامه‌ها که بعضا سردبیران آنها بازجو و شکنجه‌گر هم بوده‌اند، برای به خیال خودشان بدنام کردن من و تشویش اذهان عمومی علیه من می‌زنند، اما باید بگویم "عرض خود می‌برند و زحمت ما می‌دارند"، برای اینکه همه من را می‌شناسند و آن نویسندگان روزی‌نامه‌ها را هم می‌شناسند. "

....

Are they still married? Is IRI holding the husband hostage?

Darveesh's world view = vagina poetry!

Everything is sacred.

This regime lacks sharaf, ensaniyat, vojdan.

It is so disgusting that a regime would threaten a poor old man to come on tv to criticize his wife. Anytime one thinks that this regime can not sink any lower, one is surprised how truly disgusting this terrorist regime is. Torture and rape of young men and women is their policy. Putting this poor old man under pressure, a pressure that could result in his heart attack and death, is disgusting beyond belief.

Dr. Ebadi is a most honorable human being. The Nobel Peace Prize has been given to many individuals including Nelson Mandela, Desmund Tutu, Barack Obama.

This regime lacks sharaf, ensaniyat, vojdan.

Human rights violaters defining Human rights defenders

cheeeet

for a moment there i thought you were referring to peace price of some black dude with 2 wars on his hands and the third one in the oven.

confiscate shirin's award and give it to the black dude.

Human rights violaters defining Human rights defenders

Another example of making things up as they go along.  She is the one who was "awarded" the Nobel peach prize, they are the one "questioning" it!

As we say in Farsi; they wouldn't allow someone in town he asked for the Mayor!

Viva Shirin Ebadi! 

Everything is sacred.

she is happy to be who she is

and she has proven it it.

iranian national treasure like shirin ebadi are not sell outs to french nor any other country.

Coincidence ? Ebadi named Honorary Citizen in Paris today

Ebadi was named Honorary Citizen of the City of Paris by Mayor Bertrand Delanoe today.
