"Tazmamart was an underground military prison in southeast Morocco where those considered enemies of the king were detained from 1972 to 1991. It was built after two failed coup d’états against Hassan II of Morocco. Many of those detained were unwitting participants in the alleged coup . . ." Lucy Popescu, The BookBlast Diary
How easy is to forgive a regime and one’s former torturers?
What were Aziz’s primary motives behind writing this book – to lay ghosts to rest? To effect change? The world he depicts is barely imaginable for those of us living in a democracy.
Tune in to hear how Aziz Binebine survived 18 years in a #Moroccan desert Hell.
Presented by Georgia de Chamberet | Produced by Rupert Such
