Nobel Peace Prize Winner Ebadi Sues the US

Ebadi’s motion filed with the New York courts last week says, "These regulations help the US to develop all over the world and are always against values including freedom of thought and expression exchange."

Ebadi made a name for herself as the first female lawyer in Iran, but was forced to quit her job as a result of the revolution in Iran. Later, she continued her fight to help women and children obtain their human rights in the fundamentalist state of Iran.
