'Iranian authorities have confiscated Nobel peace laureate Shirin Ebadi's medal, the Norwegian government said today. It said Ebadi's medal was seized "within the last week or so" from a safe-deposit box in Iran along with other personal effects. Ebadi, a human rights lawyer, won the Nobel peace prize in 2003 for her efforts in promoting democracy. She has long faced harassment from the Iranian authorities for her activities – including a raid on her office last year in which files were confiscated.'

"The seizure of the medal is an expression of the Iranian government's increasingly harsh approach to anyone it considers an opponent – particularly since the mass protests following the disputed June 12 presidential election."
