Author Marina Nemat shares the harrowing story of her time as a political prisoner in Iran's infamous Evin Prison and gives a powerful and moving repudiation of the use of torture. As a teenager, Nemat led a student strike against the imposition of ideology in schools in post-revoluationary Iran. For her peaceful protest, she was arrested, interrogated, tortured, and raped by a prison guard she was coerced to marry. She recounts her struggle with post-tramautic stress disorder after her release from prison, and emphasizes the importance of bearing witness and testifying because what happened to her continues to be perpetrated by the dictatorship in today's Iran.From: OsloFreedomForumViews: 321 2 ratingsTime: 14:39 More in Nonprofits & Activism - William Dobson - San Francisco Freedom Forum 2012

In his talk at the San Francisco Freedom Forum, Slate politics editor William J. Dobson examines how modern dictatorships are constantly evolving. Author of "The Dictator's Learning Curve", Dobson explains that while it has become more difficult to maintain an authoritarian regime in today's world, dictatorships have done so by becoming more sophisticated and savvy. Brutal repression has been largely replaced with subtle coercion. But at the same time, the individuals challenging dictatorships have also evolved, and while popular movements may seem like spontaneous, romantic uprisings, they are in reality strategic and organized. Dobson shares with us his belief that ultimately dictators cannot learn or adapt as quickly as the civil society that opposes them.From: OsloFreedomForumViews: 105
