Author Marina Nemat shares the harrowing story of her time as a political prisoner in Iran's infamous Evin Prison and gives a powerful and moving repudiation of the use of torture. As a teenager, Nemat led a student strike against the imposition of ideology in schools in post-revoluationary Iran. For her peaceful protest, she was arrested, interrogated, tortured, and raped by a prison guard she was coerced to marry. She recounts her struggle with post-tramautic stress disorder after her release from prison, and emphasizes the importance of bearing witness and testifying because what happened to her continues to be perpetrated by the dictatorship in today's Iran.
