“A must-read for anyone interested in human rights in Iran. A gripping, moving, and utterly shocking account.” - Kylie Moore-Gilbert

Iranian prisons systematically violate human rights. In White Torture, fourteen women, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, share their experiences of imprisonment: harassment and beatings by guards, complete blindness, and denial of medical care. Angry interrogators threaten their families and lie about their whereabouts. One prisoner is informed that she is dead.

None of the women have committed crimes – they are political prisoners or detainees used as pawns. Through the torturous process, the Iranian state hopes to reform their souls. These interviews, conducted by Narges Mohammadi while each woman was in prison or facing charges, are stunning documents of resistance and integrity. As Iranians continue to fight for Woman, Life, Freedom, White Torture condemns the regime for its crimes.
