    Activist Shadi Sadr wins Human Rights Tulip Award

    Iranian lawyer and activist Shadi Sadr has been awarded the 2009 Human Rights Defenders Tulip Award by the Dutch government "as a tribute to her moral courage and perseverance in protecting and promoting the rights of her fellow citizens."  Sadr did not mince words in her acceptance speech:

    "It is necessary that the issue of human rights in Iran remains on the table of negotiations alongside the issue of nuclear energy.  All those who have ordered the widespread and systematic violation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran should be prosecuted and tried.  Western governments, including the Dutch government as the host of the International Criminal Court, can ask the UN Security Council to pursue the issue of crimes against humanity through setting up an international court for Iran."
