What's On

Amnesty International Dundee are delighted to say that Anoosheh Ashoori himself will be joining us in Dundee Central Library to launch this exhibition on Monday the 16th of February at 6pm.

Surviving Evin Prison highlights the experiences of one man, UK national Anoosheh Ashoori, who was arbitrarily jailed for four-and-a-half years in Iran until his release - alongside Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe - in March 2022.

Devised by Ashoori himself with the support of Amnesty International UK – the exhibition will take visitors through the years Ashoori spent in detention, the impact of his family’s campaigning back home, and life after release.

Anoosheh Ashoori said: “I think the exhibition is a testament to the ability of the human spirit to endure, to find hope amid despair, to face adversity and to emerge stronger. I hope it reminds everyone who visits of the importance of empathy, understanding, and solidarity in our shared humanity.”
