Prisoner of Tehran: A Conversation with Marina Nemat - a podcast by Avi Benlolo

The 1979 Iranian Revolution ushered in a new era of Islamic fundamentalism, oppression and a murderous regime.  Thinking the regime would quickly disappear, Marina Nemat became one of its many victims.  At just 16 yeas old, Nemat was taken to the notorious Evin prison where she was tortured and assaulted.  Many of her peers were murdered.  She eventually escaped to Canada and wrote a global best selling book retelling her story.  Prisoner of Tehran is a hard read - but an important one that recounts the brutality of a regime that has not changed in 40 years. "I don't see this murderous government that has taken thousands of lives and continues to do so, I cannot see it going anywhere for the foreseeable future" says Nemat.  But she does have a solution.  Listen to this podcast and find out what she says.
