A State of Fear: My 10 Years Inside Iran's Torture Jails

Author: Dr. Reza Ghaffari

About A State of Fear: My 10 Years Inside Iran's Torture Jails: A State of Fear will take you right inside the sickening torture jails of Iran and expose the gut-wrenching horror of the treatment dished out to political prisoners who oppose the regime. The sights and sounds encountered might not make for easy reading, but this book tells a story that needs to be told. 'Night after night througout Evin and the surrounding valley a noise rang out like thunder. At first I thought it was girders being unloaded from large trailers for constructing the new prison extensions. It didn't take me too long to find out that the thunder came from the barrels of the automatic weapons of the firing squad. Each time after this terrifying barrage - 5,000 rounds at a time - we would hear the lone voice of the coup de grace: a pistol shot to the head of each victim.' In the spring of 1981, a professor from the University of Tehran, Dr Reza Ghaffari, woke to find ten armed men standing over his bed.
