After being arrested and taken to solitary confinement in
Evin prison , he has allegedly experiencedwhite torture and commented that:"I feel that solitary confinement - which wages war on the soul and mind of a person - can be the most inhuman form of white torture for people like me, who are arrested solely for [defending] citizens' rights.
