Remembering Zahra

July 11th is anniversary of Zahra Kazemi's death. The Iranian Canadian photojournalist that was arrested outside of one of Evin prison one the most notorious prisons in the world. But I'm certain that even the devil himself would be ashamed and horrified by what happens in that prison. Any man would be surprised by the depth of evil that exists inside those walls. 

 Zahra Kazemi died under suspicious circumstances in Evin prison, later the prison's doctor revealed that she was severely #tortured. 

She was initially admitted to the hospital for stomach bleeding but later the nurse called the doctor to inform him that she was having troubles performing an endoscopy on her, the doctor then witnessed the horror that would haunts him to this day.

 The officials tried to convenience everyone that she died from a preexisting condition, but the medical examiner reported that she died from a blow to the head by blunt object.

 She also had a severely broken nose, broken ribs, broken finger, bruises on every inch of her body, signs of severe sexual #abuse with an object, her perineum was ruptured, nails missing, the list goes on and on. 

 One of the two Iranian intelligence agents charged with her death was acquitted in September 2003. The other agent, Mohammed Reza Aghdam-Ahmadi, was charged with "semi-intentional murder" and his trial opened in Tehran in October 2003. In the same month, the Iranian parliament condemned Saeed Mortazavi, a Tehran prosecutor, for announcing that Kazemi had died of a stroke. On 25 July 2004, Aghdam-Ahmadi was acquitted. Saeed Mortazavi was never charged.
