Waterboard Quotes

“No no, please please

Please stop it
Is this ‘cause my last name bears the name of the prophet?

I don’t know no Akbar
I don’t know no Ahmad
So why the hell are you tying my hands and tilting my head back?

Me no sign up for this
Cloth warm, over my face

You cut to the chase
Cruciform, torturous ways

I’m biting my lips
Spine chills, trying to be brave

So this is the place
Sign my will, death is my fate”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Letter 19
