"So I was the first part, (inaudible) I was (held) by the IRGC (the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) and it is extremely hard because you are always blindfolded and you cannot, you don't see anyone for many months and every time they go into the room they knock and you have to put your blindfold. It was like ISIS (the Islamic State militant group), it's nothing different. And you don't speak the language, it's pain... I don't know, it's hard, it's very hard."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Nizar Zakka, former Evin prisoner and president of Hostage Aid Worldwide:
"It's ugly, you felt, when they interrogated me at the beginning, they used the food as well, like they kept you all day (being) interrogated and they said 'okay, if you answer, you get this pistachio,' or whatever. It reached a point, like for me personally, I felt I had nothing, I lost everything. So at that time when they started doing this, I felt really like a dog you're giving him a treat."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Nizar Zakka, former Evin prisoner and president of Hostage Aid Worldwide:
"After I left, they sent me from 2A to prison number seven, prison number seven at that time it has all the political prisoners. And then you - in one of the wings it has, in ward seven, you have all the political prisoners, and then you will see all these people from the Foreign Ministry, very intellectual people, very good people. But they take from a place where you're in solitary confinement almost to a place where you're overcrowded, You are 24 people in a five (meter) by five (meter) room, it's just a complete opposite that people eat (and do) everything in this room, 25 people in a small room, we eat. It was like, for me, it was like a crazy thing because I'm not used to it."
