Iran to protect Ebadi
Iranian President Mohammad Khatami yesterday said he had told his government to ensure that Nobel peace prize-winning lawyer Shirin Ebadi could continue her work without disruption.
Khatami told French newspaper Le Monde that Ebadi, the first Muslim woman to win the prize, had in the past encountered "a few problems". He gave no details. Ebadi despite her status as a hate-figure among religious hardliners argues passionately that Islam is not incompatible with human rights.
