Despite the horrors the regime’s interrogators inflict on them, the women in “White Torture” are indomitable. Their resolve helps explain the current rebellion against Iran’s clerical-led patriarchy
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskThe testimonies of 14 women collected in “White Torture” read like a charge sheet against the Islamic Republic of Iran. They were recorded by one of the victims, Narges Mohammadi, in Ward 209, the block in the hugein Tehran where the Ministry of Intelligence interrogates women. Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a dual-national former inmate who returned to Britain in March, is among the contributors.
Some were beaten during their arrests or awaiting transfer at other prisons. But it is the dark art of “white”, or psychological, torture in which the Ministry of Intelligence excels. Interrogators crush subjects by suspending their sensory perceptions. After weeks, months or a year in solitary confinement, in a cell like a “sealed tin”, even talking to an interrogator can be welcome. Then the inquisition begins—sometimes lasting 17 hours a day for a month.
They invent sentences of execution and drop them. They mention in passing that husbands are tired of waiting and are having affairs. They give dolls to children when they visit. He—and it is always a he—“insinuates that he is the only one who can save you”, says Marzieh Amiri, a journalist sentenced to a decade of imprisonment and 148 lashes for lesbianism. And yet “he is the one who can lead you to the abyss of destruction.” There is no access to lawyers.
