About this listen

Bleeding Truth is the powerful memoir of Dr. Shahram Azam, a former Iranian military physician who risked everything to speak out against state torture and murder. In 2003, while serving at Baghiyatollah Military Hospital in Tehran, Dr. Azam examined the body of Zahra Kazemi, a Canadian-Iranian photojournalist who was arrested for photographing outside Evin Prison. What he saw—evidence of torture, head trauma, and sexual assault—was undeniable. Refusing to remain silent, he fled Iran and exposed the truth to the world.

Told with unflinching honesty and emotional depth, Bleeding Truth is more than a whistleblower’s account. It’s a deeply personal story of war, conscience, exile, and resilience. From the battlefields of Iran-Iraq war to the quiet struggle of rebuilding life in Canada, Dr. Azam shares his journey of sacrifice and redemption. His memoir sheds light on the hidden cruelty of authoritarian regimes—and the high cost of telling the truth.

This is not only the story of Zahra Kazemi's death—it is the story of one man’s fight to uphold his oath as a doctor and his duty as a human being. A tribute to courage, justice, and the enduring power of memory.
