Abstract

The article discusses the book "White torture: interviews with Iranian women prisoners," which explores the experiences of Iranian female activists who have been unjustly imprisoned and tortured. The book includes 12 interviews conducted by Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian activist who remains incarcerated in an Iranian prison. The interviews shed light on the practice of "white torture," which refers to solitary confinement and extreme sensory deprivation. The article highlights the degrading conditions and psychological impact of imprisonment, but also emphasizes the resilience and agency displayed by the incarcerated women. It concludes by noting the growing struggle for human rights in Iran and the difficulty of suppressing dissent. [Extracted from the article]
