IRAQ: Iranian Kurdish refugee waiting for asylum—the story of Shahram Wahab Bolouri

in:

Shahram asked his arresters where they were taking him.  They told Shahram not to worry; they were taking him to the “good place.”  When they got to the car, they blindfolded Shahram but he was able to see a sign that said they were going toward Evin Prison.  That night, the group that arrested him, later revealed as army intelligence, put Shahram in a solitary cell.  It was about 3.5 feet square with a small hole for a toilet, a small pipe for washing and a bright light that always stayed on.  Shahram was kept there for twenty-five days
