A gripping, moving and utterly shocking account.' Kylie Moore-Gilbert\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIranian prisons systematically violate human rights. In \u003cem\u003eWhite Torture\u003c\/em\u003e, fourteen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone 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, \u003cem\u003eWhite Torture \u003c\/em\u003eindicts the regime for \u003cem\u003eits\u003c\/em\u003e crimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarges Mohammadi is Vice President of the Defenders of Human Rights Center.
