[WSIS CS-Plenary] Shirin Ebadi Nomination - Deadline for supports

[west]

Dear All, Ronald

I totally support your idea, the people we are selecting for speakers should be free to say what they want. If they are selected rightly and are trusted, they know what to say!

regards

Amir

  Dear All --

  Everyone of us has his hobbyhorses, favorite essential topics. I think it is really out of bounds for us to ask someone like Shirin Ebadi to reflect them. She must be free to express what she thinks is important. The authoritarian atmosphere of our limited version of "civil society,"defining what is sayable and not sayable is getting truly suffocating. It's time -- past time -- for us to tell people that they are free to say what they think and decide for themselves what they consider important.
