The sound of a woman in pain had me go to the door of my prison cell. Cell number 2 of Semnan Prison in central Iran. It was back in August 1988.
The summer of 1988 Iran was the scene of horrific
massacres carried out under Khomeini’s religious fatwa against all political prisoners
across the country. I was looking down the hallway through the small hatch in my cell. The prison guards were busy taking
something away with a cart. I looked more carefully.
