Asiye's story makes difficult but compelling reading. Her description of torture and rape and the manipulation of a judicial system may be beyond the comprehension of those who know little of what goes on in Turkish police stations and Turkish prisons. But Asiye speaks for countless women, young and old, who have stood naked, blindfolded before those without pity or remorse, to be taunted, tortured with suspension and electric shocks and to be raped. In less than one day, hope for a future, a family life, for the joy of motherhood, to feel, to enjoy – all can be crushed in less than one day.
Some women who, like Asiye, have found the courage to speak out publicly against the perpetrators of these outrageous acts, now face a charge of slandering the state. Asiye's own future hangs in balance. But she has achieved much in her writing; for she has been able to put into words that fear, the pain and the loneliness of a struggle to not only face the oppressors but to accept the irrevocable damage that has been done whilst not surrendering to the suffering.
Asiye was born and lived in a country in which torture is endemic and much injustice exists. She wanted to change so that a humane society could emerge: for this she was tortured and raped. My question is always the same when I meet a woman who has endured and suffered as Asiye has. What is my society prepared to do about such a stain on the conscience of the world? And would we welcome asiyes of the world if they sought refuge in our country in fear of further torture and rape?
