An Iranian officer went towards the soldier who had opened fire, spoke to him, and Elita returned, saying: - The soldier was right. Your friend committed a grave sin that required him to be shot. He urinated while standing up, and this is forbidden. An elderly prisoner spoke to the officer: - Urinating while standing is not forbidden in all sects of Islam... As for killing this young man, it is a major crime and forbidden in the beliefs of all the people of the earth... In a region filled with sulky cruelty, nothingness, and hope, the novel depicts the restrictions of the captivity of the citizen (the narrator) in his country. In light of the oppressive regimes and the restrictions of captivity in countries that claim to implement Islam, it becomes clear which of the two captives is more cruel. Capturing the soul in its homeland, or captivating it in a foreignness that resembles nothingness?!
