Without Hesitation: An Account of an Iraqi Prisoner of Conscience by Anisa Abdul

Description: Without Hesitation by Anisa Abdul-Razzaq Abbas, Alhan Irwin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description On a December day in 1973, Anisa Abdul-Razzaq Abbas heard a knock at the door of the Baghdad home she was visiting. She opened the door to greet two men from the Iraqi Al-Amn security force, who immediately placed her under arrest. Her crime: being a member of the Baháí Faith, a religious minority in her native Iraq. Over the next six years, Anisa would spend three years in Iraqs infamous Abu Ghraib prison and a further three years in Al-Rashaad prison before her release in 1979. During her years of incarceration, Anisa would rely on her faith to meet the myriad challenges of prison life. Day after day, she and her fellow-prisoners experienced levels of cruelty and injustice that most would find unthinkable. Separated from her husband, who was being held in the mens prison, and from her children who were without both parents, Anisa was sustained through her darkest days by the love of her family, and by the strength and solidarity offered by her fellow Baháí prisoners. Anisas story is one of patience, courage, and steadfastness in the face of religious prejudice and state-sponsored oppression, and it is a reminder to us all of the resilient strength of the human spirit.
