Javier SOLANA, European Union High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security
Policy (CFSP), met Shirin EBADI, lawyer and human rights defender, who in 2003 became
the first Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Mr Solana expressed concern about the closure of Ms Ebadi's Defenders of Human Rights Centre in
Tehran last December. He reassured Ms Ebadi of the EU's full support to urge the Iranian
authorities to authorise the re-opening of the Centre and to release the Centre's administrative
assistant.
