Shirin Ebadi’s Biography
The Persian Student Association at Stanford University, a
non-religious and
non-political student volunteer organization dedicated to the
dissemination
and appreciation of Iranian culture and traditions in the Stanford
community in
addition to being a source of support and community for Iranians and
Iranian-Americans in the university, is proud to announce its
sponsorship of the visit
of 2003 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Shirin Ebadi to Stanford University
on the
22nd of May.
The human rights lawyer Dr. Shirin Ebadi, famous for being the first
female
judge in Iran before the revolution of 1979 and a noted advocate of
women's and
refugee's rights often at odds with the theocratic Islamic Republic of
Iran,
was honored as a Nobel Peace Prize recipient due to her research on
Islam as a
starting point for effecting social change. She has displayed great
personal
courage as a lawyer defending individuals and groups who have fallen
victim to
a powerful political and legal system that is legitimized through an
inhumane
interpretation of Islam. Ebadi has shown her willingness and ability to
cooperate with representatives of secular as well as religious views.
