Shirin Ebadi

We're going to keep it very conversational.

It's a sorry state for Iran as a country, but I want to unwind to you as a person, right?

You had a desire to be the judge.

Your father was a professor of law.

In those days, in 1970s, when no one thought about becoming a judge, you pursued that ambition.

And you're probably one of the pioneers in the country who became a judge during those days.

And you were also part of the revolution itself that actually hoped for a better society in 76, 77, 78.

So can you explain us your early days, your journey, your desire to actually seek law enforcement and basically the profession that you went after?

And why did you choose that?

Fantastic.

It's so inspiring.

It just moves you when you hear this.

And truly, truly blessed to know you.

So before the Islamic revolution,

You participated in the revolution where the monarchy was there and basically you felt like you needed a better tomorrow.

What was the promise?

What was Iran at that time before the revolution?

And what were you expecting that the revolution would bring?

so the the revolution was against the monarchy and then the Islamic so it was supposed to be Republic of Iran and then it became Islamic Republic of Iran right so which one

is better, the monarchy or the republic, the Islamic republic?
