Shirin Abadi Writes Letter to Ahmadinejad Requesting Removal of Seal from the Office of the Human Rights Defense Center

By IHRV | June 10, 2009

shirin_ebadi_07.jpgThe head of the Human Rights Defense Center, Shirin Abadi, wrote a letter addressed to Mr. Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, and demanded the removal of the padlock seal to the office of the Human Rights Defense Center and the curtailment of security and political pressures imposed on civil rights, political and human rights activists by organizations that are under his control.  Ms. Abadi gave an overview of a series of restrictions and other limiting factors against herself and other members of the Center in the past six months, and in the letter she asked whether this sort of treatment, which is against the law of the Islamic Republic of Iran, works for the longevity of the regime or contributes toward the national interest of Iran.

    4 days to election she asks for this? As if she is anticipating that Ahmadinejad will stay in power ? Or does she expect in the next 3 days Ahmadinejad to do as Ebadi asks and get votes for doing that? He might just do that! Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it! Anything to get elected for now.

    Or is she just trying to jump on the bank wagon but very bad timing!!

    Bad timing
