Blinding as Weapon: My Torturer Confessed to Enjoying his Profession

Our interview with Yahya Sorkhani, a civil activist who lost his eye under torture and had it further damaged during the 2022 protests, and fled Iran.
Speaking from a safe location in Munich, in front of the IranWire camera, Yahya shares a bitter narrative of violence-both mental torture that still brings memories of his mother and the physical torture that necessitated a prosthetic eye.
Yahya was taken back to solitary confinement after being punched, his eye bleeding and leaking a white fluid. Despite his desperate knocking and screaming, he received no aid. The only response he heard was, "That is nothing. Bear it."
Sorkhani was arrested on June 12, 2012, and endured 58 days of detention in Mahabad: "58 days of solitary confinement, 58 days of torture, 58 days of pain and suffering."
