Iran: harasment

Human Rights Watch called Iranian authorities to immediately stop their harassment campaign against Shirin Ebadi, the human rights defender and 2003 Nobel Peace Laureate, and her family.
In November, a Revolutionary Court order froze Ebadi's personal bank accounts and her retirement pay and authorized confiscation of the family's belongings, including her husband's safe deposit box that held her Nobel Peace Prize.
