Abstract: An immigrant woman from Iran, who works at a local Swiss Chalet restaurant in Aurora, recalls her experience in Iran--solitary-confinement cell in Evin prison, torture, arranged marriage that saved her from death sentence, miscarriage, and the first husband's death. Evin prison is the notorious prison where Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi was interrogated and beaten and later died of the injuries in June 2003. Over the years, few have made it out of the prison unscathed. There are a large number of those who were political prisoners in Iran, many of them women, many of them silent.
