Ghada Jamshir ((アラビア語:غادة جمشير)) is a Bahraini women's rights activist and an ardent campaigner for the reform of Sharia courts in Bahrain and the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. Jamshir heads the Women's Petition Committee lobbying for a law that would shift jurisdiction over family and women's affairs from Islamic Sharia court to civil courts. Jamshir has called the Al Khalifa government's reforms "artificial and marginal". In a statement in December 2006 she said, Jamshir has been outspoken in criticizing the Bahraini government for its role in the Bandargate scandal. In 2007 she alleged that the Interior Ministry was attempting to spy on her.〔(Worrying Allegations over Government Attempts to Spy on Prominent Women's Rights Activist ), Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, 17 March 2007〕 ==Backlash by the government== In 2005, the Bahraini government brought three criminal charges against Jamshir for allegedly publicly defaming the Islamic family court judiciary, and faced a jail sentence of up to 15 years.〔(Bahrain: Courts Try to Silence Women’s Rights Activist ), Human Rights Watch, 2 June 2005〕 These charges were eventually dropped on 19 June 2005.〔(Bahrain: Woman human rights defender Ghada Jamsheer banned from national media ), Front Line, 2007-10-10〕 Since 2006, Ghada Jamsheer has been under permanent surveillance, there is a 24-hour presence of plainclothes Public Security officials of the Ministry of the Interior outside her home.〔 After her criticism of government policies, Bahrain authorities ordered the local media and press to prevent the publication of any news relating to Jamshir. The order came from the Royal Court, through its minister Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa.〔 Jamshir also claims that the Minister of the Royal Court gave her a direct threat demanding that she end her public work, after which the regime attempted to install a spy camera in her house, bugged her telephone, and sent individuals to bribe and blackmail her.〔(The Fourth Dublin Platform, FrontLine ), Blog of Ghada Jamsheer, November 2007〕 In 2006, Time Magazine identified Jamshir as one of four heroes of freedom in the Arab world,〔(Ghada Jamsheer: Special Report - Arab Democracy ), Time Magazine, Scott Macleod, 14 May 2006〕 and Forbes magazine selected her as one of the ten most powerful and effective women in the Arab world.〔(Activist on Forbes list ), Gulf Daily News, Rebecca Torr, 15 May 2006〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ghada Jamshir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
