2006.5.12. Town Hall. 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi gave a talk on her book promotion tour of Iran Awakening : A Memoir of Revolution and Hope. It started 25 minutes late. The talk was about half an hour. The QA part was more interesting. The book is published in US, because she couldn't publish it in Iran. This came after a struggle. US also prohibited it on the ground that the profit of the book sale to an Iranian author would be against the US economic sanction towards Iran. She won a court battle for Iranian authors, and also Cuban and Sudanese. http://www.fepproject.org/press/ebadi.html
