520    Ghahramani, 20, an Iranian student, was swept off the 
       streets of Tehran and taken to the notorious Evin prison, 
       where criminals and political dissidents were held side by
       side in conditions of legendary brutality. Her crime, she 
       asserts, was sliding back her headscarf to feel the sun on
       her hair. This led to a political activism fueled by the 
       fearless idealism of the young. Her parents begged her to 
       be prudent, but even they could not have imagined the 
       horrors she faced in prison. She underwent psychological 
       and physical torture, fighting despair by recalling her 
       idyllic childhood in an affectionate family that prized 
       tolerance and freedom of thought. After a show trial, 
       Ghahramani was driven deep into the desert outside Tehran,
       uncertain if she was to be executed or freed. There she 
       was abandoned to begin the long walk back.--From publisher
