Nobel laureate: I will voice Iran's pain

Available for over a year

The Iranian Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi has called for some trade exchanges with Iran to be postponed until the human rights situation there improves. Ms Ebadi, whose book Until We Are Free has just been published, says human rights problems are now worse than when she won the peace prize in 2003. She told Mishal Husain that western powers should have pushed Iran on its human rights during the nuclear negotiations. Her words are spoken by a translator.
