An update on Shirin Ebadi?

The last time I met her was in February to support resuming the mandate of Dr. Shaheed, because it was very important for us. So we went and we met so many delegations in Geneva to make sure that on Iran's statements they are going to address different issues, including execution because the rate has been up.
Shirin Ebadi has been so active and is a great icon for Iranian women, addressing human rights issues. She travels around the world, but mostly she is in Europe.
