Klappentext zu „Tazmamart “
As a young army officer in 1971, Aziz BineBine was imprisoned after being unwittingly involved in the attempted assassination of Morocco's then king, Hassan II. He then endured 18 years in the nightmarish conditions of the secret prison Tazmamart, where inmates were kept in darkness underground, confined to small cells and forced to survive on the barest rations. With his fellow prisoners dying around him, BineBine realised the only way to survive was to forget the world outside his cell, to forget his past, his family, and his friends. An unfiltered depiction of the agony of prison life, and written with touching simplicity and great tenderness, Tazmamart is a hellish journey through the abyss of despair. It is a powerful and at times searing tale and a testimony to the triumph of one human spirit pitted against injustice and savage cruelty.
