Ebadi sues U.S.
NEW YORK,
NOV. 2.
The Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner, Shirin Ebadi, praised by the President, George W. Bush, and honoured at universities for her work on behalf of democracy and human rights, is suing the U.S. Government for standing in the way of the publication of her memoirs.
In her lawsuit, Ms. Ebadi argued that Treasury Department regulations restricting the publication in the United States of works by authors in countries subject to U.S. trade sanctions is unconstitutional. Ms. Ebadi and The Strothman Agency, a literary agent that wants to work with her, filed the suit in New York last week.
A Federal judge on Monday agreed to add the lawsuit to similar litigation brought in September by other publishing groups and authors. A hearing date has not been set.
