TEHRAN (AFP) -- Iranian Nobel peace laureate and leading rights
activist Shirin Ebadi said on Monday she had received death threats
pinned to the door of her office building, warning her to "watch your
tongue".
"On April 3, at the entry to the building of my office there was note
written 'Shirin Ebadi, your death is near'," she said in a statement.
Ebadi, a lawyer who over the past decade has represented clients in
some of Iran's most sensitive human rights cases, had already
complained about receiving death threats in 2006.
"The threat against my family and I has recently intensified.
"Those who wish me dead do not have any personal animosity. They are
those who are against my ideas, so finding the person or people who
have sent me the threatening letters is not a difficult task," she
said.
Ebadi, who was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 2003 for her work
promoting women's and children's rights in Iran, has annoyed the
clerical leadership with her persistent protests against rights abuses
in the country.
Accompanying her faxed statements, Ebadi sent samples of the threat
notes, one of which warned her against making speeches abroad. ...

A spokesperson in Tehran, Iran for Nobel Laureate Dr Shirin Ebadi has
denied recent claims published in the Western media and press claiming
that a recent attack on her offices in the capital city included
accusations leveled against her that she is either a sympathizer or a
member of the Bahai organization. The spokesperson has stated that
this specific claim first appeared in the Western press. Dr Ebadi's
offices have indeed been attacked with accusations of sympathizing
with pro-American and counter-revolutionary forces. But no specific
pro-Bahai accusation was leveled against her in this recent incident.

It appears certain interested parties are attempting to use this
incident for their own purposes in the Western media, and thus the
Bahai angle to the story is an embellishment possibly introduced by
pro-Bahai actors gratuitously and opportunistically attempting to put
the international limelight upon themselves in an already tense and
difficult situation. As such sources in Iran itself close to Dr Ebadi
and her representatives categorically deny this Bahai angle the AFP
has claimed.

Actually the british MOFUs have been using all religions
to fill their inbred queen's cunt with stolen goods.
Just look at the cult of Izlam in Iran.
Almost all mullahs are their agents.

If them brits think their tactics work for ever, they are
mistaken.
