Ramin grew up an hour from the tomb of Cyrus the Great and never learned what Cyrus did. At sixteen, regime enforcers pulled him from a car at a checkpoint, stripped him and whipped him with electric cables. That night broke his faith in the regime. Three years later, he heard a broadcast from outside Iran, and his life changed. He copied Scripture onto CDs for his neighbors until a stranger stabbed him in a phone booth. He fled to Turkey with no passport and no money.
