Iranian Lawyer, Staunch Fighter for Human Rights, Wins Nobel  

Iranian Lawyer, Staunch Fighter for Human Rights, Wins Nobel

I don't want to comment on whether Ebadi really deserved the prize or not (or if it was given to her to antagonize the Shia Government in Iran), but I am glad that activists from the Middle East and Asia are being noticed by the Nobel Prize Committee.

By the way, why did Arafat win the prize?
