«POWERFUL AND SOMETIMES SHOCKING ...» SUNDAY TIMES

In this powerful book, Dr. Shirin Ebadi, an Iranian human rights lawyer and activist, recounts her struggle for reform in Iran and the devastating backlash she faced after winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Tirelessly fighting for democracy, equality before the law, and freedom of speech, Ebadi became a global voice of inspiration. However, in her own country, her life has been marked by surveillance, intimidation, and violence.

«Until We Are Free» tells shocking stories of how Iranian authorities ultimately forced her into exile. Her sister and daughter were detained, her husband was ensnared in a spying plot with another woman, her Nobel medal was stolen from her safe, and her offices in Tehran were ransacked.

An enlightening depiction of life in Iran today as well as the narrative of Ebadi's personal struggle to maintain her work and keep her family together, «Until We Are Free» is ultimately a work of hope and perseverance under conditions of extreme adversity.
