A gripping account chronicles the fate of Manuchihr Farzaneh-Moayyad, seized off a Qazvin roadside by Revolutionary Guards in 1982, then imprisoned and executed solely for his Bahá’í beliefs. Parallel to his ordeal, his wife Mehri endured confinement before embarking on a perilous camelback flight across the Iranian desert with their young daughter, finding refuge in Pakistan and eventually rebuilding life in Scotland.

Through vivid storytelling, the narrative traces Manuchihr’s abrupt abduction—mistakenly hailed into an armed taxi and delivered to a makeshift court—against the backdrop of post-revolutionary Iran’s hostility toward religious minorities. Mehri’s daring escape, fueled by maternal devotion and unwavering faith, unfolds as a testament to spiritual resilience amid extreme danger. Their journeys illuminate themes of hope, sacrifice and the enduring power of conviction under persecution.

By weaving personal testimony with historical context, this biography offers profound insight into the cost of conscience and the hidden strength that springs from belief. It stands as both memorial and inspiration, preserving their legacy while revealing the universal capacity for courage and compassion in the face of tyranny.
