Ashraf Dehghani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ashraf Dehghani (1948) is amongst the most well known Iranian female Communist revolutionary and member of the Iranian People's Fedai Guerrillas

In 1971, Ashraf Dehghani (then a Organization of People's Fedai Guerrillas cadre) was arrested, imprisoned and tortured for her political beliefs, under the dictatorial rule of the Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, before escaping two years later. Her memoirs, entitled Torture and Resistance in Iran, document the events prior to and during her imprisonment.

In 1979, she led a split away from OIPFG, and formed the Iranian People's Fedai Guerrillas.

Ashraf Dehghani wrote her memoirs after escaping the Shah's prison in Iran, near the end of 1971.

Torture and Resistance in Iran examines a number of issues including:

  • The objective attitudes, efforts and mentality required by fellow revolutionaries in order to refrain from revealing sensitive information while under torture.
  • A summary of the Shah's dictatorial regime and its, so-called, legal system.
  • A documentation of the political and socio-economic situation facing the Iranian people

Overall, the memoirs provide not only a detailed personal attribute of Ashraf Dehghani's inner struggles while in prison but also the outer struggles and objective conditions required for any revolutionary party to survive outside and inside of prison.
