“Where is the Europe that Speaks about Human Rights at this moment?”
One of the people in attendance at the Amsterdam rally on Jully 25 made this excellent little film featuring Nobel Prize winner Shirin Ebadi and the human rights lawyer Payam Akhavan.
Dr. Payam Akhavan
It begins with Kader Abdolah’s amazing talk, in which he tells the croud, No more death. Just go!
Shirin Ebadi
Akhavan says, “We can chant Death to the Islamic Republuc all we that want, but what we have to think about is what is the Iran that we we want to build in the future? And unless, in our own midst, we [don't] understand what human rights, democracy, and peaceful demonstration is then we can never build the Iran that we want… In Iran there is a home for everyone. For Persians and Kurds and Baluch and Lor, for Muslim, Secular, Christian, Bahai, and Jew..”
Later, Shirin Ebadi tells us to contact Ban-Ki Moon and ask him to go to Iran to report on the situation. She tells us that the violence in Iran keeps getting worse and asks Ban-Ki Moon, as head of the UN, to make sure that Iran does not become another Zimbabwe.
