White Torture: Interviews with Iranian Women Prisoners

White Torture: Interviews with Iranian Women Prisoners

Narges Mohammadi
5/5 ( ratings)
Female prisoners of conscience and activists speak out against torture in Iranian prisons

With a foreword by Shirin Ebadi, Nobel Peace Prize winner

Extended solitary confinement has been condemned as a severe violation of human rights. Yet it is still widely used in Iranian prisons. In White Torture, thirteen women, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, share their experiences of imprisonment: harassment and beatings by guards, total blindfolding and denial of medical treatment. Angry interrogators threaten their families and lie about their whereabouts. One prisoner is even told she is dead.

None of the women have committed crimes – they are prisoners of conscience or held hostage as bargaining chips. Through psychological torture, the Iranian state hopes to remake their souls. These interviews, carried out while each woman was in prison or facing charges, are astounding documents of resistance and integrity. White Torture unveils the rot at the heart of the Iranian legal system and calls on us to act for change.
