Where is torture happening?
Horrifying but true stories
Many children and adults alike use the term 'it was torture' nowadays, but the 'torture' that is school or work is nothing compared to what Amir Fakhravar experianced in Iranian jails. After his release, he told the CNN that the physical pain he experianced there was 'nothing, compared to the pain he suffered from the white torture' (1). The white torture, is one of the nastiest torture methods, in it , you are locked in a white room, with white lights, white clothes and you are fed on white rice on a white plate (1). After having endured this for 8 months Amir couldn't remember his fathers and mothers face, and when he was released he was a changed man (1). Amir had to endure all of this, simply becasue he criticised the Iranian government.
