When she was arrested, Mrs. Muluk Khadem was a member of the last Local Spiritual Assembly of Tehran. She spent nearly six years in prison while the first 372 days were spent in solitary confinement. During this time, she was condemned to death twice and was taken for execution with other inmates only to be returned to her prison cell at the last moment. Her final release from prison allowed her to write her memoirs, sharing the memories that reflect the lives of all the other martyrs and prisoners who were never given the opportunity to put share all they faced in prison.
