Podcasts about Shirin Ebadi

La voce di Shirin Ebadi, premiata con Nobel per la pace nel 2003 per la sua difesa dei diritti in Iran, ha anticipato quelle del movimento Donna Vita Libertà. Ma sulla propria pelle ha provato l'abiezione del regime islamista che è penetrato in tutti gli aspetti, anche i più intimi, della sua vita, privandola del lavoro (solo un maschio può essere giudice), della terra natale, della serenità della famiglia.

Narges Mohammadi, Nobel per la pace 2023, è un'attivista iraniana che da tutta la vita entra ed esce dal carcere per le sue idee che sfidano il regime degli ayatollah. Il suo obiettivo è restituire al popolo iraniano un futuro senza oppressione e riesce a cantare canzoni di libertà anche rinchiusa nella famigerata prigione di Evin, dove tutt'ora si trova.Ospiti della puntata: Taghi Rahmani, Shirin Ebadi, Rayhane Tabrizi e Cristina Giudici

Narges Mohammadi é uma defensora dos direitos humanos iraniana premiada com o Nobel da Paz. Nascida em 1972, viveu sua infância durante a Revolução Iraniana, iniciada em 1979. A execução de um tio e um primo marcaram sua juventude, mas foi durante seus anos universitarios que Mohammadi passou a refletir com mais seriedade sobre o tratamento dado a prisioneiros políticos no país. Durante sua graduação em Física, fundou um grupo de debate político para os estudantes, se envolveu fortemente com o ativismo social. Nesta época, conheceu seu marido, com quem teve um casal de filhos gêmeos. Formada e trabalhando como engenheira, N.M. escrevia artigos sobre os direitos humanos e das mulheres para jornais reformistas. Em 2003, se juntou ao Centro de Defensores dos Direitos Humanos, liderado por Shirin Ebadi (#mulherdefibra). Depois, Mohammadi viraria vice-presidente da organização. Ela e Ebadi são as únicas mulheres iranianas a conquistarem um Nobel. Além da luta pelos direitos das mulheres em um país notoriamente conservador, uma de suas principais causas é a defesa dos direitos humanos dos presos políticos do Irã. A ativista já foi presa treze vezes, e atualmente cumpre uma pena de dez anos. Todas suas condenações são relacionadas ao seu trabalho em defesa dos direitos humanos. Somando todos seus processos, ela foi sentenciada a um total de 31 anos de prisão e a 154 chicotadas. Mesmo presa, e pondo a vida em risco, a ativista não para de trabalhar: durante os protestos que tomaram o Irã após a morte da jovem Mahsa Amini (#mulherdefibra), Mohammadi conseguiu entrar em contato com a BBC para denunciar o abuso físico e sexual que estava sendo imposto às detentas. Em outubro de 2023, Narges Mohammadi foi premiada o Nobel da Paz “pela sua luta contra a opressão das mulheres no Irã e pela sua luta para promover os direitos humanos e a liberdade para todos”; ela celebrou essa conquista dentro de sua cela.

In this podcast we talk with a human rights activist within the Women! Life! Freedom! movement about Narges Mohammadi and her lifelong work. She is the Iranian human rights activist that received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 on Sunday 12 of September, for her lifelong work and activism on human rights and Women's rights in Iran. Most of her adult life Narges has been politically active- from publishing a book of political essays and joining the Defenders of Human Rights Center to being arrested multiple times for her criticisms of the Iranian government, her open support of feminist civil disobedience and the abolition of the death penalty in her country. Currently she is the vice president of the Defenders of Human Rights Center (DHRC), headed by her fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Shirin Ebadi. A month ago, in October 2023, while still in prison and despite the condemnation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran, Narges was awarded the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize, “for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all”. Yet, her work doesn't not stop even if she is in prison. Since November 2021 and during the Mahsa Amini protests in 2022, Narges has published multiple reports on the life conditions in Evin Prison and the human rights breaches that solitary confinement imposes. Her latest book “White Torture” centred around solitary confinement, has been translated to German, titled “Women! Life! Freedom!” and published this year.

Shirin Ebadi ist eine der ersten iranischen Richterinnen. Zwei Jahrzehnte lang hat sie als Anwältin Kinder, Frauen und Regimegegner:innen verteidigt. 2003 erhielt sie als erste muslimische Frau den Friedensnobelpreis. Ihre Erfahrungen geben Aufschluss über die aktuelle Situation der Frauen im Iran. Als die Feature-Autorin Renate Maurer im vergangenen Herbst die 75-jährige Nobelpreisträgerin zu ihrem Leben befragte, sassen die Mullahs noch fest im Sattel. Und doch liessen Ebadis Erinnerungen und Analysen wenig Zweifel, dass ein Aufstand nur eine Frage der Zeit war. An Ebadis Biografie lässt sich nachvollziehen, wie aus einer Revolution des Ayatollah Khomeini gegen den Feudalismus ein theokratisches Regime entstand, das sich mit Terror an der Macht hält.

Freedom is important because it allows us to live our lives as we see fit, an aspect that Nobel Peace Prize-winning author Dr Shirin Ebadi talks about in her book Until We Are Free on the "How To Be Books Podcast".Please hit subscribe to hear the whole series on life skills and social change!

CN: Gewalt, Hinrichtung, Suizid Über 1000 Tage ist Jamshid Sharmahd in Isolationshaft. Nun droht dem deutschen Staatsbürger die Hinrichtung, wie von iranischen Behörden bestätigt wurde. Hamed Esmaeilion ist aus der Exil-Allianz ausgetreten und auch Reza Pahlavi gehört der Opposition um Masih Alinejad, Shirin Ebadi, Nazanin Boniadi und Abdulla Mohtadi nicht mehr an. Alle Parteien kämpfen aber weiter für die Freiheit Irans. Die Streiks in Iran gehen weiter, es wurden erneut Sanktionen gegen Einzelpersonen und Einrichtungen verhängt, die FDP fordert die Einhaltung von Demokratie, Freiheit und Menschenrechten in Iran und Jasmin Tabatabai hat eine starke Rede beim Bundespresseball in Anwesenheit von Annalena Baerbock gehalten.

Shirin Ebadi (1947-present) is a woman of firsts. She is the first woman in Iran to serve as a judge, as well as the first Muslim woman and Iranian to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Women's contributions to peacekeeping efforts are often overlooked, but no more. This month on Womanica we're highlighting women who have spearheaded peacekeeping initiatives all over the world — from India to South Africa to the United States. We cover women like ​​Doria Shafik who led Egypt's female liberation movement, as well as Coretta Scott King who was a fierce advocate for equality for Black Americans and a leader in the Civil Rights Movement. Tune in to hear the stories of women who were integral to creating peace in their communities. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should.Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Liz Smith, Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Ale Tejeda, Sara Schleede, Abbey Delk, and Alex Jhamb Burns.

In Zeiten, in denen die Proteste im Iran weiter andauern und erste Todesurteile zur Folge haben – in Zeiten, in denen die Menschen dennoch, vor allem die Frauen, für ihr Recht auf ein freies, selbstbestimmtes Leben auf die Straße gehen, wird auch ein Namen immer wieder genannt. Der Name einer Frau, die sich seit Jahrzehnten unermüdlich für Menschenrechte im Iran einsetzt, auch aus dem Exil heraus: die Juristin, ehemalige Richterin und Menschenrechtsaktivistin Shirin Ebadi. Für diesen Kampf, bei dem sie sich immer und immer wieder der Gefahr aussetzte, ist sie 2003 mit dem Friedennobelpreis ausgezeichnet worden; als erste Muslimin und erste Iranerin.  Das Auswahlkomitee würdigte damals insbesondere Ebadis mutigen Einsatz für die Rechte von Frauen und Kindern und das unter Lebensgefahr. Die Auszeichnung nahm sie übrigens ohne Kopftuch entgegen, was einen Sturm der Entrüstung in ihrem Heimatland auslöste. Doch was damals lediglich Kritik der regierenden Hardliner der Islamischen Republik auslöste, bedeutet heute Lebensgefahr, wie man bei der iranischen Kletterin Elnaz Rekabi sieht. Bis vor ein paar Jahren ging Shirin Ebadi noch davon aus, das Land sei reformierbar – ein klerikaler Staat auf Basis von Menschenrechten im Iran möglich. Doch seit dem Sieg von Hassan Rouhani bei den iranischen Präsidentschaftswahlen 2013 äußert Shirin Ebadi bei verschiedenen Gelegenheiten mit Besorgnis über die zunehmenden Menschenrechtsverletzungen in ihrem Heimatland. In einem Interview mit Deutschlandfunk sagte sie Anfang Oktober 2022:"Eine Zeitlang waren sie auf dem Weg der Reformer und haben gehofft, dass man das Regime mit Reformen besser machen kann" – aber am Ende habe sich rausgestellt, dass das keine realistische Option mehr sei, weswegen "es keinen anderen Weg außer den Umsturz des Regimes und die Etablierung eines demokratischen, besseren Systems“ gebe.  Wir hoffen so sehr, dass das eintritt und die Iraner*innen bald in Frieden in ihrem eigenen Land leben können, egal, wie sie ihr Leben gestalten möchten. Wir sind bei euch! Hier nochmal der Link zu unserer Iran-Folge mit Cathrins Schwägerin Elham, in der wir auch auf die Geschichte Irans eingehen:https://play.acast.com/s/starke-frauen/sonderfolge-die-starken-frauen-des-iran-feat-elham Folgt uns gern auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/starkefrauen/ Oder schreibt uns, wenn ihr Vorschläge habt, Kritik oder Lob loswerden möchtet: starkefrauenpodcast@gmail.comWir freuen uns, von euch zu hören!#iranprotests #shirinebadi #friedensnobelpreis #femaleempowerment Foto: Nashirul Islam / Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 Möchtest Du Cathrin oder Kim auf einen Kaffee einladen und dafür die Episoden werbefrei hören?

Women have been at the forefront of ongoing protests in Iran, following the death of Mahsa Amini in the custody of the so-called morality police three weeks ago. In a country infamous for crushing dissent, these women are trying to force authorities to pay attention to their demands, sometimes at their own peril, as Jomana Karadsheh explains. Following her report Christiane is joined by Shirin Ebadi, a Nobel laureate and human rights lawyer who was Iran's first female presiding judge before being demoted following the 1979 revolution.  Also on today's show: celebrated journalist Charlayne Hunter-Gault, author of a new memoir, My People; Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Im Zeitzeichen auf WDR 5 hatte ich über Shirin Ebadi, eine iranische Menschenrechtlerin, die als erste und einzige Iranerin einen Nobelpreis bekommen hat, gehört und habe mich fesseln lassen von ihrem Einsatz für das, was ihr wichtig ist. Eine beeindruckende Frau, die viel für ihre Überzeugung verloren hat und dadurch für viele Menschen zum Leuchtturm wurde. Ich habe mich gefragt, wie sich meine Werte in meinem Handeln, Mindset, in meinen Beziehungen und in meiner Führung finden lassen und wieviel es mich kosten darf, diese auch gegen Widerstand lautstark und sichtbar zu vertreten. Denn eins ist sicher: Viele möchten Leuchtturm sein - doch nicht alle machen das Licht an. Oder? Wie siehst Du das? Hör einfach rein und lass mich wissen, was Du dazu denkst. Wie stellst Du sicher, dass Deine Überzeugung in Deinem Handeln zu lesen ist?

For over a year during the Covid Lockdown, Zari was the only person outside of Dawn's house that she spoke to in person. Chats in doorway turned to coffee on the patio - turned to tea at her kitchen table - which eventually became whiskey on the couch. More than once she found myself at 1o'clock in the morning awash - not just in the Makers Mark Zari pours so generously - but in her captivating tales of her life in Iran. Dawn recorded with Zari for a few sessions over two days and what is compiled here focuses primarily on the history of the Iranian Revolution and how it wove through the events of Zari's life to this point. ---EPISODE BREAKDOWN---00:10:00 - After Dawn and Zari bring the listeners up to speed on how they met and grew so close - Dawn begins to give the very early broad strokes of the seeds of the Iranian Revolution, and where Zari was at the time. In 1961, for example, in an unlikely turn of events, Zari finds herself at 15 entering a Catholic School in London - she is Muslim, speaks no English and has never seen a nun. 00:16:30 - At the same time that Zari is in London, the Shah Pahlavi - the divisive and socially progressive King of Iran - is advancing what is known as the White Revolution. This is generally an investment in a modernizing - and particularly Westernizing and secularizing - of Iranian culture. Its most vocal critic is the Ruhollah Khomeini (later the Ayatollah Khomeini) who is eventually sent into exile in Iraq, but continues to remain very present in Iranian dissent. 00:25:24 - When Zari graduates and returns to Iran in 1968, she gets married and has a son - later divorces, amicably- and is beginning her career in education. Not long after, the real build of the revolution begins: The Cinema Rex Fire as well as other violent and deadly events are happening with more regularity and the tide of revolution is beginning to become clearer. 00:44:37 - By November, 1978, the Revolution is building and increasing numbers of people are taking to the streets every week. The Shah makes a series of televised concessions and capitulations which only seem embolden his critics and weaken his position. As allies also begin to falter in their support of the Shah, many begin to see how the return of Khomeini would mean violence and chose to flee. Zari, her parents, and her 7 year-old son got on a crowded flight on Dec. 7th, 1978 and go to London. It is from London that they witness the Revolution take a dark turn. --BREAK-- 00:52:51 - Dawn and Zari begin Part 2 with a clink of whiskey glasses and jumping into some of the ugliest days of the return of the Ayatollah to Iran. Dawn references the story of author, Shirin Ebadi in her book Iran Awakening - in which she relays how it felt on the ground. Ebadi has a very different perspective than Zari because she was a Leftist Revolutionary who was among those in the streets protesting the Shah. She believed the government could be made more representative, and didn't believe a bigger monster lay beyond the cause. 01:01:41 - Zari watched events like the Iran Hostage Crisis (1979-1981) from her new life in New York. Again, the critical timeline aligns with hers and Zari and her son find they are fortunate enough to have secured their passports on the same day that Jimmy Carter revokes all Iranian Visas. 01:14:20 - In 1997, with her son happy and established, Zari is determined to return to Iran to see if she might be able to reclaim any portion of her family's previous estate. She finds it to be a country both totally unfamiliar, and exactly the same as she left it. The manner of dress and the fear are new - but under it all the same kindness and love her countrymen always displayed. 01:28:27 - Zari gives a dose of some of her gracious optimism. She sees no comparison to what happened in Iran happening here, in the US in the present day. According to Zari, the USA is insulated from such a religious coup because the number of people devoted to the same religion is not comparable. The two sign off with mutual declarations of hope and love. ---NEXT EPISODE: July 6th, 2022 - LESBIANS with Rachel Scanlon [AKA: THE LIVE SHOW!]  

Heute vor 75 Jahren wurde die iranische Juristin, Menschenrechtsaktivistin und Friedensnobelpreisträgerin Shirin Ebadi geboren.

I hope you enjoy this moving and provocative interview on Mother Daughter healing with Sara and Charlotte Vetter. I became aware of the mother wound in my life at an early age but had no idea how common it was. It was not until I viewed my relationships through a patriarchal lens that I was able to see more clearly how this dynamic is established and then passed down through the generations. I think this is a subject that's critically important and is finally being revealed. I am deeply grateful for the love and liberation modeled in this episode between these two beautiful women because this work takes so much courage and self-reflection. I'm honored they trusted me to facilitate the interview- it was a gift to witness. “For daughters growing up in a patriarchal culture, there is a sense of having to choose between being empowered and being loved.” - Bethany Webster In this episode you'll hear about: * Sara's breakdown and divorce when Charlotte was 12 years old. * The Mother Wound and how it's passed through the generations from mother to daughter. * Hear Charlotte describe what it was like to witness her mother's unhappiness and how she coped as a teenager. * Hear about Sara and Charlotte's patriarchal upbringing and how they chose different paths. * Why does generational trauma get passed down in a patriarchal culture? * How Charlotte and Sara made their way back to each other after distance and healing. * Charlotte's interest in “next culture” and sustainable and community living. * Historically, women have internalized toxic messages which condition us to believe that our worth is tied to patriarchal values such as our level of production, or our identity as wife, caretaker, and mother- and how this is changing. * As more women awaken to our worthiness and sufficiency in the Sophia Century, we break the generational patterns that keep us in oppressive behaviors of self-sacrifice, and disempowerment while teaching our daughters to do the same. Charlotte Vetter is a playful powerhouse with a deep devotion to living an awakened life. Her mission is to ignite inspiration through transformative and impactful experiences while empowering individuals with the tools to feel resourced and radically expressed. Known for her soul blueprint evolutionary astrology readings and engaging live classes, Charlotte's approach is strong, yet graceful. By bringing levity to challenges, she guides her clients to honor themselves, while breaking through blockages to reprogram body and mind. The result? A life filled with more radiant JOY. Sara Vetter is the Managing Director of the Soul of Money Institute and is a coach, consultant, workshop leader, keynote speaker and strategist. She has been working with the Soul of Money Institute since 2001 and has become a key player in all the initiatives of the institute, working in partnership with Author and Founder Lynne Twist. She is also the Major Gift Officer and fundraiser extraordinaire for the Pachamama Alliance, raising millions of dollars a year for the last 12 years- Pachamama alliance is an alliance between indigenous people of the Amazon and conscious committed people in the modern world and has raised millions of dollars and led and participated in more than 20 delegations and leads high level immersion trips to the Amazon Rainforest Sara has played a leadership role with the Nobel Women's Initiative, working closely with the six Nobel Women Peace Prize Laureates on fundraising, strategy and special delegations. Sara has co-led delegations to Dharamsala, India to see his Holiness the Dalai Lama, the Democratic Republic of Congo to work with Nobel Laureate Leymah Gbowee. She also co-led a coalition to Liberia working closely with Ms. Gbowe and Nobel Laureates Jody Williams, Mairead Maguire and Shirin Ebadi. Sara is also a member of the WPO (Women's Presidents Organization). Sara's effectiveness in producing results for the Soul of Money Institute and Pachamama Alliance are legendary. It was her initiative that landed Lynne Twist's interview on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday in 2016.

In 2003, human rights lawyer Shirin Ebadi became the first Iranian and the first Muslim woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Six years later, she was forced into exile from Iran. Dr Ebadi has been talking to Louise Hidalgo about the award, her work and the personal price she's had to pay for it.

Vamos a hablar de Shirin Ebadi, una abogada iraní defensora de los derechos humanos, nacida el 21 de junio de 1947 en Hamadan, Irán. Recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz en 2003 por sus esfuerzos para promover la democracia y los derechos humanos, especialmente los de las mujeres y los niños de Irán. Fue la primera mujer musulmana y la primera iraní en recibir el premio. Ebadi nació en una educada familia iraní; su padre era autor y profesor de derecho mercantil. Cuando ella era un bebé, su familia se mudó a Teherán, donde asistió a las escuelas de Anoshiravn Dadgar y Reza Shah Kabir antes de obtener un título de abogado de la Universidad de Teherán (1969), en solo tres años y medio. Ese mismo año tomó una pasantía en el Departamento de Justicia y se convirtió en una de las primeras jueces en Irán. Mientras se desempeñaba como juez, también obtuvo un doctorado en derecho privado de la Universidad de Teherán (1971). De 1975 a 1979 fue jefa de la corte municipal de Teherán. Tras el triunfo de la revolución islámica en 1979, Ebadí tuvo que abandonar su cargo de presidenta de la Corte de Justicia de Teherán, pero, como abogada, continuó defendiendo a un gran número de niños, mujeres y refugiados, víctimas de la violación de sus derechos más fundamentales. En este campo tiene escritas varias obras, como The Rights of the Child. A Study of Legal Aspects of Children's Rights in Iran (Teherán, 1994) y History and Documentation of Human Rights in Iran (New York, 2000). Además, fundó la Asociación en Apoyo de los Derechos de la Infancia en Irán. En 2000, defendió a Mehrangiz Kar y Shala Lahiji, que habían sido encarceladas por su lucha en favor de los derechos de las mujeres. También investigó la muerte de varios estudiantes e intelectuales asesinados en 1998 y 1999. Ella misma sufrió en carne propia la represión política: en junio de 2000 fue arrestada y acusada por haber grabado y distribuido imágenes que, según los gobernantes, perturbaban la opinión pública. Por ello fue condenada a quince meses de prisión. En 2001 recibió en Noruega el Premio de los Derechos Humanos Tholof Rafto, por su labor en defensa de las mujeres iraníes. Dos años después, le fue otorgado el Premio Nobel de la Paz, por haberse mostrado como ejemplo de lucha en favor de los derechos humanos, especialmente de las mujeres y de los niños. Su postura representa el islam reformado, es decir, una nueva interpretación de la ley islámica que puede compaginarse con los derechos humanos, tales como la democracia, la igualdad ante la ley, la libertad religiosa y la libertad de expresión. Según sus propias palabras: "Mis conciudadanos deben decidir por sí mismos si quieren una república islámica democrática o un gobierno laico. Y las mujeres deben poder decidir si quieren llevar el velo, un sombrero o la cabeza descubierta". En diciembre de 2008 la policía iraní cierra las oficinas de defensa de los derechos humanos de la premio Nobel.

Jody Williams, Peace Activist, Professor and 1997 Recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize joins Mungi on Everyday Ubuntu this week. As the founding coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, Jody and the campaign won the Nobel Peace Prize for their work in banning and clearing anti-personnel landmines. In this conversation, Jody speaks of how she got into the work that has been described as "life-threatening human rights work", though she happens to think that's a bit of a ‘dramatic description’ herself. She was instrumental in launching the Nobel Women’s Initiative in 2006 with sister laureate Dr. Shirin Ebadi and she speaks to Mungi about the strengths that come from bringing this cohort of women together to work for justice and progress. Recalling the Ubuntu lesson 'Strength lies in unity', Jody's work embodies the good that can be done when we actually work together. There's even a bit of a discussion about food from her cookbook 'Ingredients for Peace'!……..Visit mungingomane.coFollow Mungi on InstagramFollow The Brand is Female on Instagram

For more than two decades, Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh has fought for the rights of women, children and minorities in her country.Her work has won her international acclaim but also the wrath of the Iranian government. She has been arrested several times and is currently serving a 38-year sentence in prison. Her family has been detained and harassed as well.This month, a new documentary called “Nasrin” takes viewers inside the life of Sotoudeh. In this Nov. 1, 2008, file photo, Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh poses for a photograph in her office in Tehran, Iran.  Credit: Arash Ashourinia/File photo/AP ‘Child of the Revolution’Hadi Ghaemi, founder and director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran, describes Sotoudeh as “a child of the Iranian Revolution.”Born in 1963 in Langarud, Iran, Sotoudeh experienced the 1979 Revolution and its aftermath during her formative years, Ghaemi said.Sotoudeh was a bank employee before she became a journalist and later, decided to study law and become a lawyer. As part of her work, she provided pro bono services to minorities and prisoners of conscience.Related: As Iran arrests Instagram influencers, some seek safety abroad“[Nasrin Sotoudeh] was breaking grounds with some of her colleagues in providing defense to those cases that no one else would take on like the LGBT community, religious minorities, people on death row."Hadi Ghaemi, founder and director, Center for Human Rights, Iran“She was breaking grounds with some of her colleagues in providing defense to those cases that no one else would take on like the LGBT community, religious minorities, people on death row,” Ghaemi said. Iranian authorities arrested Sotoudeh several times in the past. She was jailed from August 2010 to September 2013 for her professional and human rights activities.Her most recent arrest came in 2018 after she represented women who had taken off their headscarves to protest compulsory hijab laws, according to Human Rights Watch. In March 2019, the court sentenced her to 38 years in prison.Related: Iranians share stories of sexual harassment on social mediaFilmed secretly Nasrin Sotoudeh holds a protest sign in Tehran in a scene from the film "Nasrin," directed by Jeff Kaufman and narrated by Oscar winner Olivia Colman.   Credit: Courtesy of Floating World Pictures “Nasrin” was directed and produced by Jeff Kaufman and Marcia Ross, who began work on the film in 2017, before Sotoudeh was arrested. The duo kept details about the film under wraps to avoid getting those involved in trouble with Iranian authorities.“We kept it very quiet,” said Ross.“Very often, when you make an independent documentary, you find public ways to raise money through a Kickstarter campaign, GoFundMe, and we did absolutely none of that with this film,” she said.Kaufman and Ross hired anonymous contributors to follow Sotoudeh as she went about her daily life. They captured Sotoudeh at her office, home and in her car as she drove to court appointments.The film also shows some rarely seen footage from inside a courtroom in Tehran, the capital. Sotoudeh is wearing a bright blue headscarf held in place by a knot under her chin. She is standing behind a podium, a stack of paper in one hand, her eyeglasses in the other. Sotoudeh is defending Shirin Ebadi, winner of the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize.In the courtroom, Hossein Shariatmadari, a representative of Iran’s Supreme Leader, laments that Ebadi is “taking money from foreigners,” referring to the financial reward that comes with the Nobel Prize. When Sotoudeh addresses the court in the video, she’s polite but firm. After a few minutes of back and forth, Sotoudeh tells the court that her rights and the rights of her client are being trampled on.Then, she suddenly turns her back and walks out. Shariatmadari looks stunned.“To step inside a revolutionary court and actually see Nasrin stare down and argue down a prosecutor and a judge is pretty intense." Jeff Kaufman, filmmaker, "Nasrin"“To step inside a revolutionary court and actually see Nasrin stare down and argue down a prosecutor and a judge is pretty intense,” said Jeff Kaufman in an interview with The World.“Nasrin Sotoudeh, I think, represents all the standards we need for a role model around the world today. Not just for Iran. She’s a remarkable woman,” he said.In “Nasrin,” the audience gets to know Sotoudeh as the defiant lawyer who stands up for the rights of women, children and religious minorities, but also as an art lover, a wife and a mother.In one scene, Sotoudeh picks up her son from school and they hold hands as they walk home.“In every society, it’s the youth that are most vocal about injustice,” she says in the narration. “I hope one day, there’s peace in my country. Then, we can make films and write poems about it.”‘No regrets’Incidentally, when The World reached Sotoudeh’s husband, Reza Khandan, by phone in Iran, he too was about to pick up their son from school.Later, Khandan explained that his wife’s health has been deteriorating in prison. Sotoudeh went on a hunger strike last month as a way to protest the conditions in prison and the treatment of her family by the authorities.Khandan said his wife is suffering from heart problems, too, and she is in need of medical attention.On Wednesday, Khandan tweeted that instead of being taken to a hospital, Sotoudeh has been transferred from the notorious Evin prison to a prison outside Tehran.Today the guards of Evin prison called Nasrin and instructed her to be ready for transfer to the hospital. Instead, she has been transferred directly to Qarchak prison!— Reza Khandan (@RezaKhandan4) October 20, 2020“This government is fearful of people like my wife. ... They know she is not giving up.”Reza Khandan, husband of Nasrin Sotoudeh The people come together in support of Iranian human rights lawyer and activist Nasrin Sotoudeh, in a scene from the film, "Nasrin," directed by Jeff Kaufman and narrated by Oscar winner Olivia Colman. Credit: Courtesy of Floating World Pictures “This government is fearful of people like my wife,” Khandan told The World. “They know she is not giving up.”Khandan said his focus now is to try and make life as normal as possible for the couple’s two children — to give them the support they need in the absence of their mother.Filmmakers Kaufman and Ross said they learned a lot about Iran, but the film also made them reflect on what could be at stake here in the US: “An effort over and over again to push back on civil rights and human rights, voting rights, women’s rights, minority rights, pushing religious intolerance, all that’s been happening in this country as we’ve been making this film about human rights in Iran,” Kaufman said.Related: In Iran, all eyes are on US election's impact on sanctions, security He hopes that the film serves as a reminder to Americans not to let their liberties slip away.And to get out and vote.

Season 2, Episode 5 - The COVID-19 Crisis & Prisons in Iran - FLD Intro: 00:00 - 02:02 - Shirin Ebadi, Nobel Prize Winner & Lawyer: 02:03 - 05:03 - Roya Boroumand, Executive DIrector, AB Center: 05:03 - 20:44 (including testimonies from Iranian prisoners) This episode of Rights on the Line focuses on the prison situation in Iran during the COVID-19 pandemic, and is a collaboration between Front Line Defenders and the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran, a non-governmental non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of human rights and democracy in Iran. In its documentation of human rights defenders cases in Iran, Front Line Defenders has often drawn attention to the poor health conditions in the prisons. The Abdorrahman Boroumand Center has also documented these conditions, most recently in its April 2020 report, “COVID-19 Fear in Iran’s Prisons”, available on the Center’s website, www.iranrights.org The first COVID-19 cases were reported in Iran on February 19th in Qom. A month later, the annual Persian New Year celebrations of Nowruz meant that Iranians traveled extensively throughout the country as the government did not impose social distancing policies. As a result of the government’s response, compounded by sanctions and a faltering economy, Iran today is one of the global epicenters of the pandemic. As of May 11, there are almost 110,000 cases and over 6,500 dead according to official figures. Iran is among the 10 most affected countries both in terms of number of cases and number of deaths per 100,000. The government has released approximately 100,000 prisoners in an effort to improve overcrowding at prisons, but poor conditions remain. And notably, imprisoned human rights defenders have almost entirely been excluded from furlough or release. In fact, in recent weeks, Front Line Defenders has reported on cases of HRDs being summoned to report to prison to start serving prison sentences, including Shapour Ehsanirad, Nahid Khodajo and Soha Mortezaei. Sam Rajabi, who is imprisoned in the notorious Evin Prison, was returned to prison despite having tested positive at a civic hospital while receiving treatment for another serious health condition. And long-term cases, Atena Daemi, Narges Mohammadi and Nasrin Sotoudeh remain imprisoned.

“Iran has been taken hostage for 40 years by the Islamic Republic.”— Masih AlinejadLocation: ZoomDate: Friday 1st May Role: Journalist & Political ActivistIn April 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran formed after the Islamic Revolution had overthrown the US-backed King of Iran.The political system in Iran has both an ‘elected’ president and a Supreme Leader who holds the position for life. Over the last 40 years, the regime has been accused of funding terrorism, rigging electoral ballots, killing protesters and journalists, and numerous human rights abuses.Under the regime, women have faced severe oppression. In 1975, before the Islamic Republic, Shirin Ebadi became the first female judge in Iran but was forced to resign following the revolution. Women can now no longer be appointed as judges, be seen in public without a hijab, leave the country without their husband’s permission or even sing, dance or attend football matches.In this interview, I am joined by Masih Alinejad, an Iranian journalist, political activist and critic of the Iranian authorities.

As protests erupted in some 100 cities across Iran last month, Nobel Peace Prize winner and human rights advocate Shirin Ebadi urged the international community to support the Iranian people. The former chief justice in Iran and longtime human rights advocate says the protests – which have cut across classes and regions of Iran - hint at an eventual collapse of Iran’s regime. She speaks to CBC Ideas’ Nahlah Ayed.

Bernice A. King, directora ejecutiva del Centro King, habla sobre la importancia de construir la paz basada en la filosofía de no violencia que impulsó su padre Martin Luther King Jr.. Bernice King dijo que para la construcción de paz es necesario atacar el problema y no el carácter de la persona. "La reconciliación es la parte principal de la filosofía de mi papá porque nosotros estamos interconectados en este mundo", dijo King. En Mérida, Yucatán, se llevó a cabo la 17° Cumbre Mundial de Premios Nobel de la Paz. A la cumbre asistieron los Premios Nobel como David Trimble, Frederik Willem de Klerk, Jody Williams y José Ramos-Horta, Juan Manuel Santos, Kailash Satyarthi, Lech Walesa, Leymah Gbowee, Rigoberta Menchú, Shirin Ebadi y Tawakkol Karman.Para conocer sobre cómo CNN protege la privacidad de su audiencia, visite CNN.com/privacidad

Praised for his warm, lyrical tone, trumpeter Malcolm Aiken weaves together influences of jazz, world and pop music. His bold new album “New Futures” showcases sounds forged during his four year residency at Guilt & Company, Vancouver’s celebrated live music mecca. The sound is dub-soaked jazz with a splash of soul, down-tempo grooves, and vintage synths that set the mood for his velvet trumpet tone and sinewy improvisations. With his band a synergy emanates that recalls the sounds of Bob James and electric-era Miles Davis, with modern beats inspired by J Dilla, Flying Lotus and Robert Glasper. It’s been called “a west coast take on Nordic nu-jazz. Long, languid horn lines drift over hip beats and chill atmospheres in a collection of sparkling instrumentals. Based on the west coast, Malcolm is an international touring and recording artist who has performed with an impressive array of musical icons including Latin jazz legend Chucho Valdez, Noel Gallagher of Oasis, R&B Hall of Fame singer Dutch Robinson, Polaris-prize winning band Patrick Watson and salsa superstar Jimmy Bosch. He’s played for global audiences at the 2010 Winter Olympics, and for world figures including the Dalai Lama, Reverend Desmond Tutu and Shirin Ebadi. As both a player and producer, Malcolm maintains a diverse and dynamic schedule performing in clubs, festivals and concert halls across Canada and abroad, while working with artists and collaborators in the US, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Mexico City, and Cuba. As an educator, Malcolm is an in-demand music adjudicator and clinician. From 2005-15, he served as director of brass with the award-winning West Vancouver Youth Band. He is currently acting Artist in Residence at the Vancouver School Board and sits on faculty at the Sun Peaks and Whistler Music Festivals. He holds a Master’s degree in ethnomusicology from the University of British Columbia, and has published articles exploring topics on brass pedagogy and Latin jazz. He is a frequent panelist for the Juno Awards, FACTOR and the Canada Council for the Arts. Malcolm is a Stomvi Brass Performing Artist and holds endorsements from AMT Microphones and Matterhorn Music.

As the month of Ramadan ends, Kimberlee and Allison discuss two Muslim women who dedicated their lives to the improvement of their communities. Shirin Ebadi broke barriers with her legal career in Iran, and has dedicated her life to fighting for human rights, earning the Nobel Peace Prize and founding Iran's Defenders of Human Rights Center. Fatima Al-Fihri dedicated herself to her community, founding the world's oldest existing, continually operating university.  

Den 1:a oktober 2015 gästades Studentaftons av människorättsaktivisten Shirin Ebadi. Aftonen kretsade kring Ebadis erfarenheter, och berörde bland annat hur det är att bli avsatt som domare på grund av att vara kvinna, den eviga kampen för mänskliga rättigheter och att helt utan föraning bli tilldelad Nobels fredspris. Vad Ebadi anser om Islamiska statens frammarsch och hur USA egentligen borde gått till väga efter 9/11 är bara några av de saker detta samtal har att bjuda på. Samtalet modererades av Alejandro Fuentes, forskare på Raoul Wallenberg Institutet för mänskliga rättigheter och humanitär rätt. Översättning från farsi till engelska gjordes av Maryam Moosavi.

They also add Dr. Shirin Ebadi, Iranian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, to the Wall of Inspirational Women.

REFLECTION QUOTES “When everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.” ~George S. Patton (1885-1945), U.S. Army general “Man is always something worse or something better than an animal…. Thus, in sex no animal is either chivalrous or obscene. And thus no animal invented anything so bad as drunkenness – or so good as drink.” “The Fall [into sin] is a view of life. It is not only the only enlightening, but the only encouraging view of life. It holds…that we have misused a good world, and not merely been entrapped into a bad one. It refers evil back to the wrong use of the will, and thus declares that it can be righted…. Every other creed except that one is some form of surrender to fate.” ~G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) “Man's greatness is so obvious that it can even be deduced from his wretchedness, for what is nature in animals we call wretchedness in man….” ~Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), French mathematician and thinker “The idea of cultural relativism is nothing but an excuse to violate human rights.” ~Shirin Ebadi, an Iranian lawyer, human rights activist and first ever Iranian to receive the Nobel Peace Prize “True freedom consists in liberating one's essential nature into its best and proper end. The act of choice itself is not freedom….To be free is to come into that which fulfills our nature in harmony with ‘the good'. But the modern definition of freedom puts it emphasis more on the individual ability to choose regardless of the ends that he or she might choose.” ~ David Bentley Hart, contemporary philosopher and cultural commentator “For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” ~Nelson Mandela (1918-2013), President of South Africa and Nobel laureate “The thing at bottom is this, that men have low thoughts of God, and high thoughts of themselves; and therefore it is that they look upon God as having so little right, and they so much.” ~Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) SERMON PASSAGE Genesis 5 28 Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and became the father of a son. 29 Now he called his name Noah, saying, “This one will give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the Lord has cursed.” 30 Then Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters. 31 So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died. 32 Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Genesis 6 1 Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 The Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. 9 These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God. 10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. 13 Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.
