And the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi is suing the U.S. government in an attempt to overturn a law that is barring the Iranian attorney from publishing her memoirs here. This according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Under a trade embargo, the U.S government bars the publication of new works by authors from Iran, Cuba and Sudan. Ebadi said the restrictions “seem to defy the values the United States promotes throughout the world which always include free expression and the free exchange of ideas.”
