Shirin Ebadi
Akbar Ganji was in prison for six years, and that was it...for six years, and it was finished. Of course the Iranian government could make up some stories and accuse him of some other things, but the international support didn't let the government do that.
Shirin Ebadi
Democracy is not an incident that happens overnight, nor a gift that America can give to the world. It is a culture which needs peace to evolve.
Shirin Ebadi

Shirin Ebadi
The international community can't trust such a government. If the government of Iran wants the international community to believe in what it says, it should try to bring true, pure democracy into the country. The political solution to the energy issue or the nuclear case is democracy in Iran.
Shirin Ebadi
The role of Iran has been very destructive. As an Iranian, I apologize to the civilian people of Syria who have been killed as a result of the useless intervention of Iran in Syria.
Shirin Ebadi
When we criticize in Iran the actions of the government, the fundamentalists say that we and the Bush Administration are in the same camp. The funny thing is that human rights activists and Mr. Bush can never be situated in the same group.
Shirin Ebadi
Sixty-three percent of our university students are female. But you still see violations of women's rights in Iran. A Muslim man can have up to four wives. He can divorce his wife without offering any reason, while it is quite difficult for a woman to get a divorce.
Shirin Ebadi
I maintain that nothing useful and lasting can emerge from violence.
Shirin Ebadi
While living in exile I have become the loudspeaker for the people of Iran.
Shirin Ebadi
Maybe the words are the same, but the time is not the same. Iranians weren't working on achieving nuclear energy.
Shirin Ebadi
I have said many times that I wish there was no oil in the Middle East, and more water. People would have been much happier than they are right now.
Shirin Ebadi
Europe clearly is the only place where people can speak up critically, and this is a unique cultural value.

Terrorism is based on two major pillars: One is injustice, and the other is a certainty of attitude, the notion that their version of the story is the correct one.
