iran unfiltered

Here is a short interview with Shirin Ebadi in which she says she will return to Iran in December despite the regime's ongoing harrassment of her and her family.  She also discusses how in the late 1990s (before she was a Nobel Peace laureate) she was next on the list of dissidents to be killed as part of the intelligence ministry's notorious 'chain murders' campaign.  Given her global status now, it's hard to imagine the regime daring even to imprison her; the international outcry from confronting her too directly or harshly would outweigh the benefit to it of such a move.
