Yousef Azizi – författare

In the realm of Ahwazi prisons, Yousef Azizi Beni Torf faced nightmarish days. Confined within the suffocating walls of Tehran and Ahwaz, he endured unimaginable hardships that painted a haunting picture of his struggles. His gripping narrative, The Taste of Death and Lizards in Ahwaz’s Secret Prison, unveils the brutal realities he faced within the cruel confines of Iranian jail cells under the current Iranian regime. This compelling tale falls within the realm of “prison literature”, a genre that has garnered recognition and importance across the globe. Yet what sets Azizi’s book apart is its unyielding focus on the Ahwazi prisons, revealing a stark contrast to the conditions prevailing elsewhere in Iran.
