Shirin Ebadi and human rights
hey all, i've been quite interested lately on the success of Shirin Ebadi.. heard of her? anyway, she is the first Iranian to have won a Nobel Peace Prize.. she has been a human rights activist in Iran, working on raising awareness on the rights of women and children in Iran.. do read a bit more about this remarkable lady here: Ms. Shirin Ebadi Wins Nobel Peace Prize Not to mention that negative reaction has been made towards her by the Iranian head of state, President Khatami and it is a governmental order not to praise Shirin Ebadi for her success on the international stage.. but she continues nonetheless.. i think one of the most appealing reasons is the fact that she was a judge (the first Iranian female judge, by the way) and directly involved with the law of Iran.. as a law student myself, i see this as a way in which i can work to achieve more for the good of the society I live in.. ok.. off from the serious note.. here's the Nobel prize spoof: the Ig Nobel Prize the Ig Nobel Prizes are awarded for weird researches and awkward reports of the things that happen around the world.. visit it here: The Ig Nobel Prize the motto of the Ig Nobel Prize is this: The Ig Nobel Prize winner has done something that first makes people LAUGH, then makes them THINK check out the Prize winners.. and laugh your heads off!! its really funny..
