Until We are Free

Until We are Free My Fight for Human Rights in Iran

The first Muslim woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, ʻIbādī tells her story of courage and defiance in the face of a government out to destroy her, her family, and her mission: to bring justice to the people and the country she loves. After Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rose to power in 2005 the censorship and persecution intensified. The government wiretapped ʻIbādī's phones, shut down her lectures, and nailed a death threat to her front door. The Iranian government took her marriage, friends, and colleagues; her home, legal career, even her Nobel Prize-- but the one thing it could never steal was her spirit to fight for justice and a better future.
