Iranian Lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh Wins Václav Havel Human Rights Prize
Original: Iranian Lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh Awarded Václav Havel Human Rights Prize
Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh has been awarded the Václav Havel Human Rights Prize. Sotoudeh, known for defending women's rights activists and opponents of Iran's mandatory hijab laws, has spent years in prison herself for her work. The award, given annually by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, honours outstanding commitment to human rights and is likely to draw renewed attention to her case and Iran's treatment of dissident lawyers.
Why now: The announcement of a major international human rights award to a jailed Iranian lawyer is drawing fresh attention to repression in Iran.
