ABOUT THE BOOK:

Female prisoners of conscience and activists speak out against torture in Iranian prisons. WINNER OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2023' A must-read for anyone concerned with human rights in Iran. A gripping, moving and utterly shocking account.' Kylie Moore-GilbertIranian prisons systematically violate human rights. In White Torture , fourteen women, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, share their experiences of 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 torture, the Iranian state hopes to remake their souls. These interviews, carried out by Narges Mohammadi while each woman was in prison or facing charges, are astounding documents of resistance and integrity. As Iranians still fight for Woman, Life, Freedom, White Torture indicts the regime for its crimes.
