Fariba Adelkhah, Franco-Iranian anthropologist, research director at CERI at Sciences-Po, author of the book Prisoner in Tehran published by Éditions du Seuil in Paris, is our great international guest. Arrested in Iran in 2019 for espionage, she was deprived of liberty for four and a half years. In her book-story, she recounts the functioning of Evin Prison, one of the most feared prisons in Iran. The researcher challenges some preconceived ideas and expresses her hope of being able to return to her work normally.
