Along with Dr. Chamran in Tyre

One day, my brother Sadiq and aunt Betoul and I went to Jebel Aamal Industrial Institute in Tyre at the invitation of Dr. Chamran. We entered Dr. Chamrans residence, which was in the same institution. The passion and interest of the teenagers who lived there for Dr. Chamran was very impressive. Dr. Chamran also hugged them warmly. We entered his room. A room that was arranged with very simple and few things. Above all, books and weapons were seen there.

An exhibition in prison

Translated by M. B. Khoshnevisan

I had been living secretly for some time [Masoud Sotoudeh], one night I decided to go to my fathers house. It was 1:30 a.m. when I slowly and carefully jumped over the wall of the house into the yard. I was so tired that I fell asleep in a corner of the yard. I suddenly woke up with a loud noise. It was still dark. The sound was heard from the house next door to our wall.

***

Before they covered her with earth, I looked at the womans half-opened eyes and thanked God she had died relatively intact. Shrapnel had hit her in the head and neck. Many of the other casualties with similar wounds would dry out, and no matter what we did to the bodies, they never looked natural.
