Beskrivning
A powerful memoir exposing the early Islamic Republic's Decade of Terror in the 1980sIn winter 1975, left-wing writer Houshang Asadi sat in a prison cell with a young Ayatollah Khamenei, both victims of torture under the Shah’s regime. Khamenei promised him that under an Islamic government, the innocent would not shed a single tear. In 1983, Asadi was arrested again, this time by the victorious Islamic revolutionaries. In two years in solitary confinement, Brother Hamid made Asadi bark like a dog, and tortured him until he confessed he was a spy for both the British and the Soviets. Newly updated with a final farewell to Brother Hamid, Letters to MyTorturer is a stirring testimony to the horrors of the Islamic Republic.

'This remarkable, humane story of abuse and survival across Iranian regimes – told by Ayatollah Khameinei's former cellmate – deserves a global audience, to understand the meaning of cruelty and the reality of modern, tragic, brutal Iran.' Philippe Sands
