Look into her eyes.
The eyes of an Iranian woman – strong, courageous, defying tyranny where the world has looked away.

A gaze that the Tehran regime has decided to extinguish, one morning, at the hour of their prayers.

They are going to execute her. Her name is Varishe Moradi.

Wake up, world. Don’t let bravery die in silence.

Disturbing but important piece in Wapo, in which former Israeli hostage Moran Stella Yanai recounts her abduction and time in captivity. Notable excerpts:

The men laid her down across their laps, like a hunted animal, she thought. They beat her on the short ride to Gaza, she said. She remembers trying to close her eyes, but the group’s leader pulled her hair and shouted at her to keep them open. He forced her to watch the gunmen as they glared at her and, as the rocky desert road gave way to city blocks, to see the revelers who lined the streets, cheering and jeering. She said some tried to strike her on the head as the men transferred her from the car to a hospital.

“Welcome to Gaza,” the group’s leader told her.

What haunts her most are the firsthand accounts of rape from other female hostages, whispered to her in captivity. She holds their secrets, not divulging names to protect their privacy, and to not further endanger their lives.

Amit Soussana, a released Israeli hostage, told the New York Times in March that she was sexually abused at gunpoint during her captivity. Aviva Siegel, another hostage, told Israel’s Channel 12 in February that Hamas captors dressed the hostages “in dolls’ clothes.” One day, she said, the captors forced three young women to leave the door open as they showered “so they could peek at them without clothes on.”

Moran said her captors were always near, sleeping beside her and the other hostages. They insisted on being present when she used the bathroom.

She described the psychological torture as relentless and repetitive. Her guards said her family had forgotten about her, that there was no country for her to return to. She was told the people next door would kill her if she made too much noise, that the Israeli air force wanted her dead.

Wherever she was held, the rules were the same, she said. Begging, speaking audibly, crying, or expressing any kind of emotion was forbidden — unless ordered otherwise. In one hideout, she described her captors forcing her to perform a scene they had choreographed. Over and over, she was made to rest her face between her hands, to pout like “a lost little girl,” and use a soft, high-pitched voice when asking for food or water.

The guards howled with laughter, she said. “They used us as a game.”

@DittaBasharat @MartinSLewis "I'm glad you've aptly described the situation in greater detail"... still can't apologise without inferring it was not your fault. It was adequately described in the 1st place if you had cared to read it properly.
