Dear UCLA,
I second Mr. Hakimi. Please cancel Shirin Ebadi's lecture as this is the wish of millions of Iranians both inside and outside Iran. There is no doubt in my mind that Shirin Ebadi is an appeaser of the terrorist regime of Iran and one who under the disguise of human rights activist is ignoring all the victims at the hand of a fanatic regime of Iran and while she claims to be non-political, instead she travels abroad to lobby for that despotic regime and while she hardly criticizes her masters in Iran, she focuses her attention on attacking U.S. administration (a politically motivated conduct indeed). I just wished you could hear what our young political prisoners in Iran have to say about Shirin Ebadi

Please do not let Shirin Ebadi to stain UCLA's reputation and drag your name down with her. A short-term interest of UCLA is not worth a long-term disgrace.

I hope you reconsider your decision as the free Iran of tomorrow will remember her friends and foes of today.

Sincerely,
Siavash

Dear Sirs at UCLA,

To give any platform to that imposter Shady Lady Shirin Ebadi who is against Iranians as well as Americans is a shame on your part.

Probably you need more information about her activities.

I assure you, as far as we Iranians are concerned, SHIRIN EBADI is our enemy.

On behalf of all Iranians, I beg you to cancel her lecture in your university.

Thank you before hand,

H. Hakimi,


Oslo,

?Shirin Ebadi is a traitor to Iran and Iranians!


Dear LA Times Editor

In your opinion section, this article titled Defusing Iran With Democracy; on the second paragraph Ebadi writes:
“When the U.S. and its allies encouraged the shah in the 1970s to start Iran's nuclear energy program, they helped create the Frankenstein that has become so controversial today. If, instead, they had pressed the shah to undertake political reforms, respect human rights and release Iran's political prisoners, history could have been very different.”
She then proceeds to justify the Iranian nuclear program and suggested a slap on the wrist for IRI.

In conclusion she writes” Lastly, the U.S. and Iran should enter direct negotiations. It is simply absurd for the U.S. and the most important nation in the Middle East not to communicate directly. The Bush administration should not be seduced by exile groups with no support in Iran. Developing democracy is an internal affair.”

As you are aware when the puppet masters gave her the Noble peace prize, on her ceremonial speech instead of addressing Iranian human rights violations, she criticized US and the Guantanamo Bay situation.

Instead of defending human rights and campaigning to stop child execution in Iran, this so-called lawyer defends the IRI terrorist regime’s quest for obtaining weapons of mass destruction.

I find this woman to be a mouthpiece for the IRI, and a traitor to Iran and Iranians!
This article is very poorly written, lacks reasoning and does not deserve publication!

Sincerely,

Ramin Etebar, MD

Defusing Iran With Democracy

January 19, 2006
Los Angeles Times
Shirin Ebadi and Muhammad Sahimi

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-ebadi19jan19,0,5662866.story?coll=la-news-comment-opinions

Lost in the international fury over Iran's partial restart of its nuclear energy program, and the deplorable statements by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad regarding Israel, has been the fact that respect for human rights and a democratic political system are the most effective deterrent against the threat that any aspiring nuclear power, including Iran, may pose to the world.

When the U.S. and its allies encouraged the shah in the 1970s to start Iran's nuclear energy program, they helped create the Frankenstein that has become so controversial today. If, instead, they had pressed the shah to undertake political reforms, respect human rights and release Iran's political prisoners, history could have been very different.

In the three decades since then, India, South Africa, North Korea, Israel and Pakistan have joined the nuclear club — and most people would acknowledge that the democracies among them are viewed today as the least threatening. In the 1980s, South Africa's apartheid regime made several nuclear bombs, but the democratic government of Nelson Mandela dismantled them. India has a nuclear arsenal, but few perceive the world's largest democracy as a global threat. Nor is Israel considered likely to be the first in the Middle East to use nuclear weapons in a conflict.

But North Korea's nuclear program is a threat because its regime is secretive, its leader a recluse. The nuclear arsenal of Pakistan is dangerous because the military, which runs the country and is populated by Islamic extremists, helped create the Taliban and allowed Abdul Qadeer Khan to freely operate a nuclear supermarket.

Iran's nuclear program began accelerating around 1997 when the reform-minded Mohammad Khatami was elected president — just as Iran was developing an independent press, and just before a reformist parliament was elected in 2000. The reformists supported the nuclear program but wanted it to be fully transparent and in compliance with Iran's international obligations. These were reassuring signs that it would not get out of control.

But instead of backing Iran's fledgling democratic movement, which would have led to nuclear transparency, the U.S. undercut it by demonizing Iran.

While Khatami proposed people-to-people dialogue between Americans and Iranians, Washington chose to block Iranian scholars, artists and authors from visiting the U.S. Although Khatami helped the U.S. in Afghanistan, President Bush designated Iran a member of the "axis of evil."

By 2003, when it became clear that Khatami's reforms had stalled, the world started paying closer attention to Iran's nuclear program. So, what had demonizing Iran achieved?

The U.S. will not solve the nuclear problem by threatening military strikes or by dragging Iran before the U.N. Security Council. Although a vast majority of Iranians despise the country's hard-liners and wish for their downfall, they also support its nuclear program because it has become a source of pride for an old nation with a glorious history.

A military attack would only inflame nationalist sentiments. Iran is not Iraq. Given Iranians' fierce nationalism and the Shiites' tradition of martyrdom, any military move would provoke a response that would engulf the entire region, resulting in countless deaths and a ruined economy not only for the region but for the world.

Imposing U.N. sanctions on Iran would also be counterproductive, prompting Tehran to leave the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and its "additional protocol." Is the world ready to live with such prospects?

So, what can the West do? Western nations should help the U.N. appoint a special human rights monitor for Iran. It would remind the General Assembly of Iran's human rights record annually, and strongly condemn it if the record keeps deteriorating. Contrary to the general perception, Iran's clerics are sensitive to outside criticism.

The World Bank should stop providing Iran with loans and, instead, work with nongovernmental organizations and the private sector to strengthen civil society. The West should support Iran's human-rights and democracy advocates, nominate jailed leaders for international awards and keep the cause in the public eye. Western nations should downgrade diplomatic relations if Iran continues violating basic human rights.

Iran is at least six to 10 years away from a nuclear bomb, by most estimates. The crisis is not even a crisis. There is ample time for political reform before Iran ever develops the bomb. Meanwhile, the West should permit Iran a limited uranium enrichment program (as allowed under the nonproliferation treaty) under strict safeguards by the International Atomic Energy Agency — but only when Tehran undertakes meaningful reforms, including freeing political prisoners and holding free and fair elections.

Lastly, the U.S. and Iran should enter direct negotiations. It is simply absurd for the U.S. and the most important nation in the Middle East not to communicate directly. The Bush administration should not be seduced by exile groups with no support in Iran. Developing democracy is an internal affair.

Democracy, in the end, will provide the ultimate safeguard against nuclear disaster, because a truly democratic Iran, backed by a majority of Iranians, would feel secure enough not to pursue dangerous military adventures.

SHIRIN EBADI, a human rights advocate, was awarded the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize. MUHAMMAD SAHIMI is a professor of chemical engineering at USC.




Ask the NOBEL WITCH: Are you a Moslem woman?????

Watch this video on the URL below and ask the NOBEL WITCH did any of these atrocities did not meet her criteria for commenting?

http://www.apostatesofislam.com/media/stoning.htm#video

Shirin Ebadi, are you a Moslem woman????

Is what is done in Iran under Islam according to shari’ law? If no why you don’t defend these victims? You are a so-called lawyer and human rights activists!

If the true Islam commits these crimes and atrocities you don’t condemn it as a former judge and human rights activist?

Instead of addressing the horrific crimes you criticize US and the Guantanamo Bay situation?

Isalam has no conflict with Democray? Then why your prisons are overflowing with dissidents and the cemeteries are running out of space ?

Instead of babbling “While Khatami proposed people-to-people dialogue between Americans and Iranians, Washington chose to block Iranian scholars, artists and authors from visiting the U.S. Although Khatami helped the U.S. in Afghanistan, President Bush designated Iran a member of the "axis of evil." Did you comment on the poor women being stoned in this video? How about the summer of 1988 when IRI massacred more than 30000 Iranian in a matter of days?

The NOBEL WITCH Instead of defending human rights and campaigning to stop child execution in Iran, this so-called lawyer defends the IRI terrorist regime’s quest for obtaining weapons of mass destruction.

Iranian political prisoners’ criticism of Shirin Ebadi

Dated February 24, 2006

Farsi to English translation by Ramin Etebar, M.D.


To Leaders of western governments, their respective foreign ministers & human rights organizations, We have deemed it necessary to direct your attention to the following matters:

It has been approximately two years since awarding the Noble peace prize to Shirin Ebadi . Even though it was our pride that an Iranian woman was awarded the prize, this does not prevent us from mentioning her weaknesses.

Mrs. Ebadi having plenty of financial and political opportunities as well as being an authority on human rights in Iran has the opportunity to voice the human rights violations in Iran. Prior to receiving the Noble prize she was an ordinary lawyer that was jailed less than 25 days and was released after writing a repent letter, naturally not much was expected of her, but today, given the circumstances above, we have higher expectations from her. We have noted a conservative attitude in her depicted in interviews, speeches, articles and reports.

A few days ago, the execution rumor of our prison friend Hojat Zamani with whom we had an ideological conflict broke out. We and Hojat’s family have been in a psychological warfare with the regime, rumors of his execution were never confirmed or denied. Mrs. Ebadi failed to mention or condemn this act by the regime.

Isn’t Hojat Zamani a human being? We are certain that Mrs. Ebadi dose not report the truth to the western leaders and human rights organizations.

Her reports are ‘directed” and cause diversion, to the point that her status has declined to a lobbyist for 3 of her friends that are respected by us.

She has never mentioned some people who have spent 27 years of their life in prison. She has never defended the imprisoned students and political dissidents

who are in jails for several years. She has no true knowledge of the political prisoners’ statistics and census. She thinks that all the political prisoners are the three individuals that she is representing them as a lawyer. She even introduces her friends for political prisoner’s awards, she will not mention people who have suffered more tortures and prison terms than her friends and are popular among the people. Aren’t these actions discriminatory and misrepresentation of the truth? How is this that she vigorously endeavors and advocates for her friend and client in jail for espionage, yet she does not speak a word for dissidents who have been jailed and tortured several years for nonviolent resistance? Isn’t this discrimination and apartheid?

Why should the Western leaders in Europe and America as well as human rights organizations be influenced and “canalized” by such a suspicious character?

Does Iran have only 3 political prisoners? Why shouldn’t she say a word about the 8 death row prisoners that can be executed any minute? Is this claiming justice and defense of human rights? Unfortunately it appears that the western leaders are being severely influenced by such unjust and problematic lobbyist!

How often from focusing on two or threes prisoners, by awards, political propaganda and censoring other political prisoners this segregation is comprehensible?

It is imperative that any Iranian nationalist try to translate this critique to different languages specially English, German, French, and Spanish; notify
western leaders, their foreign ministers, and human rights organizations as well as the media in Europe and specially the United States; asking them to expose this discrimination and apartheid in human rights.

Soon we will issue a communiqu頲egarding biography, past performance and negligence of Mrs. Shirin Ebadi concerning duty and mission for public defense of human rights in a clear and transparent manner.

Nice bit of disinformation Ebadi spouts....So what if anyone helped the Shah start a peaceful nuclear power program? The US and its allies don't object to even the IRI having a peaceful nuclear power program. The issues is one of trust, (which she evidently knows nothing about)....do you trust a state sponsor of terrorism to enrich fissile material?

Do you trust a militarisic/expantionist theocraticly motivated government that threatens to wipe other nations "off the map" with such technology?

Does one reward bad behavior of terrorist sponsors with direct negotiation?

If you've answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then you are a terrorist sympathiser.

How much pressure the regime has put Ebadi under to say the things she is saying is another matter for consideration, but as a "compromised" mouthpiece for the regime, she'll eventually have to own up to her actions when she is free to speak her mind, not parrot a regime line of "sticky biscuit tricks"*

*(which is by definition: Taking half-baked s.h.i.t. and throwing it against the wall to see what sticks)

Dear Cyrus:
Do you have any information or pictures on demonstration against Ebadi in UCLA last Sunday? Since it was Mother's Day I was wondering if perhaps not that many people participated??

An interesting comparison might be "Tokyo Rose" , though not a nobel prize winner, she did become famous for belittling US soldiers in WW2 over the radio. The voice of Japanese propaganda of that era, spoken by an American.
