Behind the prison walls of Iran, hope becomes both a weapon and a lifeline. When Mehri was arrested without warning and thrown into one of Iran's most notorious prisons, she had no idea if she would ever see freedom again. Accused of crimes she did not commit, she faced brutal interrogations, endless days in a cold, airless cell, and the constant threat of execution. But this is more than a story of injustice - it's a story of courage, resilience, and the unbreakable will to survive. Through secret acts of kindness, whispered prayers, and the memories of life beyond the bars, Mehri discovered a strength she didn't know she possessed.
