Nobel laureate pounds home message: Focus on human rights abuses in Iran

Alexandra ZavisContact Reporter


Iranian Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi supports the international deal offering Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for curtailing its nuclear program for more than a decade. But she worries that not enough attention is being paid to addressing human rights abuses in the Islamic Republic.

The activist attorney has worked on some of the country's most high-profile cases, including the killing of a college student pushed out of a window during pro-democracy protests in 1999 and an Iranian-Canadian photojournalist who died of injuries suffered while imprisoned in 2003.

Ebadi, 68, was one of the first women in Iran to serve as a judge. But after the country's 1979 revolution, she was demoted to a position equivalent to a clerk. After taking early retirement, she represented victims of abuse pro bono, joining with like-minded lawyers to found the Center for the Defense of Human Rights.

Nobel laureate pounds home message: Focus on human rights abuses in Iran

 

[Penelope]

Human rights include freedom of speech, tell that to those who have been imprisoned for "denying the holocaust".

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Because they only occur in Iran? What about China, DPRK, Saudi Arabia, and right here in the good ol' US of A?

 

[Sunni Man]

Because they only occur in Iran? What about China, DPRK, Saudi Arabia, and right here in the good ol' US of A?

Silly Sally doesn't care about other places.

She only has a hard-on for Iran.........

So do I. If Christians keep banning smoking here might have to find a nice Arab country where you can still smoke in peace. I don't drink so that's not a problem.

 

[Sally]

Human rights include freedom of speech, tell that to those who have been imprisoned for "denying the holocaust".

Oh look, is Ms. Skinhead trying to tell us that she is a Holocaust denier? Has she ever seen anyone imprisoned in the U.S. for being a Holocaust denier? She and members of her Bund can go up and down the streets of her town and yell that it didn't happen. Why not find the obituary of Willis Carto who passed away the other day? You can tell us if he was ever imprisoned for all the years that he was a huge Holocaust denier.

Meanwhile, of course, Ms. Skinhead, has no problem with her friends, the crazy Ayatollahs in Iran, imprisoning people. She thinks it is their right since she has never condemned what they are doing, but always sticks up for them. Perhaps she should leave her little backward enclave and speak to some Iranians who fled Iran because they knew what these crazies were up to.

 

[Sally]

Because they only occur in Iran? What about China, DPRK, Saudi Arabia, and right here in the good ol' US of A?

How about you come back to us when you win the Nobel Prize in peace? Blabbering away about the other countries isn't doing the victims any good.

Actually, Delta, another country might be a better fit for you. Perhaps you should look into it. I was reading once that ex Americans are enjoying retirement life in San Miquel, Mexico. You can take your Social Security check and might fit right in. You might even afford to hire yourself a housekeeper so you could spend more time on the computer.

As an aside, it is amusing how Fatso Sunni is still sitting on his porta-potty all day long making his ridiculous comments. Perhaps he too should leave this country and find one that is majority Sunni.

You darn right I am, and I also have a full thick lock of hair. I'm here to tell you the 6 million number is a joke, as the Zionist jews were leaving Germany and flocking to Palestine, they cared less about the religious jews in Poland.

The question here is everyone should be able to question and deny the holocaust was true as the Zionist say,
all over the globe. You Zionist jews think your in charge, OH wait, dumb me, you are.

WWII , not holocaust.

Why focus on human rights abuses in Iran? Why not focus on human rights abuses all over the world? Like in Saudi Arabia, for example?

Since this is the Middle East forum, how about we focus on human rights abuses in the Middle East? There are certainly other forums in which you can discuss human rights abuses in other parts of the world. Unless you have been asleep at the switch, human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia have been discussed many times.

It certainly is very strange to me that whenever something is brought up that happens to be negative about Iran, there are those posters (even those who are not in the habit of regularly posting here) who are so quick to jump in and start dragging in other countries. Perhaps they should speak to some Iranians here in the U.S. (of which there are many) to find out what their relatives in Iran are telling them.

As an aside, these fly-by-night posters on this forum never seem to have anything to say about the innocent people murdered in other Middle East Muslim countries.

UN investigator: human rights situation in Iran 'dire'

Lookie here, folks, it is Ms Skinhead again. Has she seen anyone here in the U.S. (where I presume she is a citizen) being locked up for Holocaust denial or revisionism? Her NeoNazi pals have had a good time all over American servers vomiting out just like she does. Meanwhile, perhaps Ms. Skinhead and the other members of her Bund should start collecting cans at the side of the road until they collect enough that will cover airfare for a couple of them to travel to Germany and research the Archives. The Nazis were very good at record keeping. It amazes me that here we are in the 21st century and there are still people around like Ms. Skinhead who sits on her rear end all day long bashing " those terrible Zionists" while people are being killed every single day throughout the Muslim world by her new friends (naturally she is very quiet about this on forums since it doesn't concern the Jews). Here in America, the majority of Muslims just want to get on with their lives, but there are some who are radicals and think just like Ms. Skinhead. She and they would have a good old time having a gabfest about those "awful Jews."

By the way, one of the head NeoNazis in the U.S. admitted that the reason for this Holocaust revisionism was to make it look like the Nazis weren't such bad guys after all and they really didn't murder lots of people.. This way they would try to get National Socialism (NAZI) back as a political entity. Ms. Skinhead would like that. She could wear her little Naziette uniform with the swastika sewn on both sleeves and run all over her town yelling "Round up the Jews."

Fine, whatever, let's focus on the human rights abuses from ALL countries in the middle east.

Why is Iran so special? Er... well.... the right want to invade because they're OPEC and have lots of oil.

Just like Iraq, Libya and Venezuela, what happened to them?

In 2001 the three leaders of those three countries aren't with us.

Two were deposed with US help or by the US, and the other suffered a coup d'etat the US helped, didn't work, but then he died.

Coincidences? No.

There is nothing like getting it from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

Oh, Ms. Skinhead had to drag in Israel again while her new friends even murder people of different sects. Perhaps Ms. Skinhead can tell us why the Ahamadiyaa Muslims say they only feel safe is in America. Even in England the other Muslims are threatening to them and are out to get them.

Ms. Skinhead, isn't it about time you get out for some fresh air? When you get back, Israel will still be there for you to bash. Why not start a little exercise group of other skinheads in the park? It certainly will be much healthier for you than sitting on your rear end all day long in front of the computer waiting for a chance to bash Israel or the Jews in general.

Since Ms. Skinhead is always dragging in Israel, I just know that she wouldn't mind me dragging in a bit of news.

It appears that you are the one who got upset about the article from a Nobel Laureate about human rights abuses in Iran or else you wouldn't have made the comment that you did. This woman didn't win the prize for just sneezing. Let me reiterate. Human rights abuses have been discussed in Saudi Arabia and Qatar on this forum. I am sorry that you were too busy elsewhere to notice this. Meanwhile, is anyone stopping you here from posting an article about human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia? I certainly would have no problem, and I don't think the others would have either. I don't think anyone tied up your hands, thus preventing you from doing so. So go for it and post an article about what is happening in Saudi Arabia when it comes to human rights. This way you might feel better and not have such a hang-up when an article about Iran appears.
