Mohsen Kadivar, a prominent dissident cleric, once imprisoned for his pro-democracy statements, told TIME that the prize was "an honor for Iran, for Iranian women and for reformists." But conservatives mocked the award as another Western way of pressuring the Islamic regime, though Ebadi is careful to distance herself...
