[WSIS CS-Plenary] breaking news-Mrs.Ebadi

[Tracey Naughton]

Amir

Thanks so much for the reports on the atmosphere surrounding the Nobel Prize
awarded to Mrs Ebadi. We can feel your excitement at the recognition. As a
woman I feel it doubly.

I personally hea
rd the news in Beijing enroute to Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia where I am working
with a nascent information network. The BBC reporter quotes Mrs Ebadi as
saying the most important issue for human rights is freedom of expression.

I would love a sense from you of the emphasis Mrs Ebadi has on this area,
which would needless to say feed so well into the WSIS Civil Society agenda.

Regards

Tracey
