In late 2004, I blogged about a case in which an Iranian human-rights activist, Shirin Ebadi, faced a Treasury Department ban on the American publication of her memoir. Although I never followed up, the ban was eventually lifted, and her memoir will finally be published next month by Random House.
The NY Times Magazine has a chilling excerpt, in which Ebadi finds a surprising name on a death warrant.
(I wonder whether this entry will spark another incoherent rant from the same anonymous commenter who trolled here previously.)
