A young officer, Aziz BineBine, arrived late and witnessed the ensuing massacre without firing a single shot, yet he would spend the next two decades in a political prison hidden in the Atlas Mountains--Tazmamart. Conditions in this now-infamous prison were nightmarish. The dark, underground cells, too small for standing up in, exposed prisoners to extreme weather, overflowing sewage, and disease-ridden rats. Forgetting life outside his cell--his past, his family, his friends--and clinging to God, BineBine resolved to survive. \u003ci\u003eTazmamart: 18 Years in Morocco's Secret Prison \u003c\/i\u003eis a memorial to BineBine and his fellow inmates' sacrifice.
