Shirin Ebadi, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, announced that she has dedicated her twenty-ninth honorary doctorate—which she received from the “Domingo Faustino Sarmiento” University in Buenos Aires during a trip to Argentina—to the grieving mothers who lost their children in the month of Dey 1404.

Ebadi wrote in a message: “I dedicate this honor to the grieving mothers who lost their children in Dey 1404; mothers for whom no title or accolade can lessen their sorrow.”

She added that when receiving this honorary doctorate, she was remembering those who lost their lives and their families, and emphasized the necessity of keeping the memory of the victims alive and pursuing justice.

Ebadi also, in her speech at this university, called for the establishment of democracy in Iran and said that the Iranian people oppose the government’s policies that put the country in the path of tension and war.
