1. Until We Are Free
My Fight for Human Rights in Iran
A stirring memoir and political testimony that traces a woman's journey from her years as a judge and lawyer through the 1979 revolution to her work defending the rights of women, children, and political dissidents under Iran's Islamic Republic, detailing the harassment, imprisonment, and exile she and her colleagues faced. It blends personal recollection with legal analysis and accounts of high-profile cases to expose systemic injustices, critique discriminatory laws, and document grassroots and international efforts to secure human rights. Throughout, it argues for the resilience of civil society, the rule of law, and continued activism despite repression.
