nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bleeding Truth is the haunting and courageous memoir of Dr. Shahram Aazam, a former military physician in the Islamic Republic of Iran who found himself at the center of one of the most shocking human rights scandals in recent history-the brutal death of Zahra Kazemi, an Iranian-Canadian photojournalist arrested while documenting the protests of grieving families outside Evin Prison in Tehran.What began as another routine shift in a military hospital in 2003 turned into a life-altering experience when Dr. Aazam was ordered to examine a female detainee brought in under tight security. That detainee was Zahra Kazemi. What he witnessed that day-severe internal injuries, evidence of sexual assault, and signs of relentless torture-would not only change his life but set him on a dangerous path of truth-telling and exile.In Bleeding Truth, Dr. Aazam offers a gripping and deeply personal narrative, recounting his early life in Iran, his service as a military doctor during the Iran-Iraq War, and the personal convictions that clashed with the system he served. As a patriotic and duty-bound physician, he tried to balance his sense of national service with the Hippocratic Oath. But nothing could prepare him for the moral crisis he would face in July 2003.The memoir traces Dr. Aazam's emotional and physical journey-from witnessing the horrifying condition of Zahra Kazemi's broken body, to realizing that the state apparatus was determined to silence the truth at any cost. Refusing to stay silent, he fled Iran under imminent threat, ultimately finding asylum in Canada. There, he took the extraordinary step of testifying publicly against the Iranian regime, detailing Kazemi's injuries and confirming that her death was not from natural causes-as the state claimed-but from state-sponsored torture.Bleeding Truth is not just a memoir about one brave act of witness; it is also a broader indictment of systemic brutality, censorship, and the culture of fear within authoritarian regimes. Dr. Aazam recounts the personal toll of becoming a whistleblower-being forced into exile, living in fear for his family's safety, and carrying the psychological burden of what he witnessed.This book is a tribute to the memory of Zahra Kazemi and to all those who have suffered in silence. It is also a testament to the power of conscience, the importance of speaking out, and the enduring struggle for human rights and justice in places where truth is treated as a threat.Both a political document and a human story, Bleeding Truth connects the reader to the raw realities of repression and the quiet, difficult acts of defiance that push back against it. Dr. Shahram Azam's voice is one that cannot-and should not-be silenced.…
