There are many stories about the harsh existence of political prisoners in Iranian prisons. But it has never been told like this. "White Torture" takes us to the darkest corner of the isolation cell as fourteen different women provide us with a direct glimpse into life behind the prison walls and its unjust and inhumane system. These 14 women come from diverse political, religious, and ideological backgrounds, whose only common denominator is that they have been arrested due to their activism and dissent. They have been accused of so-called "thought crimes"; that is, crimes against what one is allowed to think, feel, and say. In other words, the most fundamental aspects of being human. "White Torture" is not about numbers, statistics, or Iran's role in the world. It is about human lives. About women. About sisterhood and motherhood. And about lives shattered and dreams crushed through arbitrary arrests, a life of constant oppression, and psychological and physical torture. But it is also a book about hope. Because no matter how terrifying power tries to be, books continue to be written, stories continue to be told, and thoughts of change and a better future persist. "White Torture" is written by Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi and is based on thirteen personal interviews with fellow inmates whom Mohammadi met during her time in prison. She also writes about her own experience, thus becoming the book's fourteenth voice. Two months after "White Torture" was published in Persian, Mohammadi was released after eight years in prison. In November 2021, Narges was arrested again on false charges and has since been imprisoned. Narges has been awarded several international prizes, including the PEN America, Olof Palme Prize, and UNICEF Prize.
