Dr. Avraham Cohen, born in Tehran's Muslim neighborhood, immersed himself in Islamic ideology from childhood to university within Iranian Revolutionary Guards institutions. In 1987, at 20, he attempted illegal immigration to Israel but was apprehended by Revolutionary Guards at the border. He endured about 4 challenging months in a secure Iranian facility. Post-release, courageously, he tried to escape to Israel again, traversing the desert on foot and camelback to Pakistan. Successfully arriving in Israel in 1988, he was declared a Prisoner of Zion by the Jewish Agency.
Dr. Cohen vividly recounts his harrowing Iranian prison experiences and the incredible journey to Israel in his lectures.
