It was a time of house burnings, mob violence, kidnapping, mass
imprisonment, torture, endless trials, summary executions and
secret burials. This was Iran in the early 1980s, and everyday
reality for the Baha'is, Iran's largest religious minority.
Headlines across America screamed out the story, Congress passed
motions, President Reagan appealed to Iran. This detailed,
eye-witness account of the persecution of Iran's largest religious
minority in the 1980s is the story of one woman's experiences at
the hands of the Iranian Revolutionaries. Amid the escalating
pogrom, Olya Roohizadegan witnessed friends, neighbours and
relatives being imprisoned, tortured and executed. For months she
visited the prisoners, comforted their relatives, found clothes and
shelter for the homeless, and smuggled news and photographs out of
Iran to the outside world. And then it was her turn. The book
culminates in her dramatic escape from the hangman's rope in a
hazardous overland journey to Pakistan and the West.
