Narges Mohammadi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, in an interview with CNN, spoke about torture, medical deprivation, and efforts to get her writings out of prison. Her memoirs, titled “The Woman Never Stops Fighting,” will be published this month in several European countries.

Mohammadi told CNN that while she was held at Evin Prison, she had been sending her writings page by page to the outside with the help of friends and fellow inmates; in one case, during a visit, officers took three pages from one of her friends.

More than 20 of her notebooks were also destroyed after she was beaten and was forcibly transferred to another prison (from Evin Prison to Zanjan Prison).

Despite these pressures, she continued writing and turned scattered notes into her new book; a book that gives readers new details about her mistreatment and the methods used by the officers in prison.

Mohammadi said exposing torture methods is necessary to record the truth.

She added: “This work may have consequences, but our lives in this country are such.”

The 54-year-old human rights activist said that even an interview with CNN could cost her, but that speaking out is her duty.
