Christian: Da conveys valuable experience
28 November 2012
A Christian inmate said she might not have been ended up in the prison had she accessed Da before.
IBNA: According to Soreye Mehr Publishing Institute, a ceremony was held at the detention center of Rey City, Tehran, in the presence of figures like Zahra Husseini, narrator of Da, Merila Zarei, artists and a number of other influential women in Iran.
The ceremony was held on the occasion of the world’s day of books, and was themed at praising winners of the final round of the book reading contest among social activists and inmates of the prison.
One of the winners, a Christian inmate, asserted that the difficulties Zahra Husseini went through according to the book are much more troublesome than what one might have normally experience in their lives, and it might be that if “we had read books like Da, many of us would have never ended up in places like this.â€
During the ceremony, 71 inmates, 20 activists and prison staff were honored.
