human rights lawyer in Iran. She has represented
imprisoned Iranian opposition activists and politicians following the
disputed June 2009 Iranian
presidential elections as well as prisoners
sentenced to death for crimes committed when they were
minors.
Her clients have included journalist Isa
Saharkhiz, Nobel Peace
Prize laureate Shirin
Ebadi, and Heshmat
Tabarzadi, the head of the banned opposition group Democratic Front of
Iran.
Sotoudeh was arrested in
September 2010 on charges of spreading propaganda and conspiring to harm state
security and
In January 2011, Iranian
authorities sentenced Sotoudeh to 11 years in prison, in addition to barring her
from practicing law and from leaving the country for 20 years. An appeals court
later reduced Sotoudeh's prison sentence to six years, and her ban from working
as a lawyer to ten years.
On 17 October 2012, she
began a hunger strike that still keeps that. And now, her life is in
danger.
