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

As the Iranian regime continues a barbaric crackdown against legitimate protesters across the country, 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, from his arrest by Iranian intelligence officers and his first interrogations, time spent in solitary confinement, daily life with other inmates, 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.”

SURVIVING EVIN PRISON will be on display at Central Library from 16th - 28th February 2026.

The launch event is free and you do not need a ticket but you can register via Eventbrite to help indicate numbers.
