    [09] Iranian woman lawyer wins Nobel Peace Prize

    Iranian human rights lawyer Shirin Ebadi became the first Muslim woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize today in an award intended to foster wider democracy in the Islamic world. The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised Ebadi -- Iran's first female judge before the 1979 Islamic revolution forced her to step aside in favour of men -- for fighting for children and women and for taking on cases others were too afraid to touch.

    Iran's conservative-run state media reported the country's first Nobel Prize winner without comment, after several hours, while reformers cheered a prize that will secure their cause a world spotlight. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan called Ebadi "courageous" and many other foreign leaders hailed the prize.
