White Torture is a 2022 non-fiction book by Narges Mohammadi, featuring interviews with 14 Iranian women prisoners who were subjected to human rights violations during their imprisonment in Evin Prison. The book documents both the psychological and physical abuse these women endured during their imprisonment.
