No Friend but the Mountains
The true story of an illegally imprisoned refugee - Behrouz Boochani
ISBN: 9781529028485
(PB - E)
€
In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani was illegally detained on Manus Island, off the coast of Australia. He has been there ever since. This book is the result. Behrouz Boochani spent almost five years laboriously typing passages of this book into a secret mobile phone in prison, these were then organised and translated from the Farsi. Together they form this incredible story of how escaping political persecution in Iran, he then ended up trapped in an immigration detention centre on the other side of the world. A stateless person with no way out and nothing to his name but a desire to paint a vivid portrait of his years of incarceration and exile. To show shine a light on the cruel fate of so many refugees internationally. Behrouz Boochani's voice is a voice of witness. His book is now being published in countries the world over as a cry of resistance. It is a moving testament to the humanity of all peoples in the most extreme of circumstances.
