Peace Laureates Unite to Condemn Treatment of Shirin Ebadi and Iranian Activists
In an open letter to Iranian President Ahmadi Nejad, 14 Nobel Peace Prize Laureates condemn Iran's intimidation of Shirin Ebadi and other Iranian activists. The letter was signed by Wangari Maathai, Jody Williams, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, His Holiness The Dalai Lama, F.W. de Klerk, and 9 other Nobel Peace Laureates. The letter warns Ahmadi Nejad's government that the crackdown on opposition will not end the demands for human rights.
