The behind-the-scenes story of an innocent man, arrested and imprisoned in Iran and finally released after 222 days
Bernard Phelan was working for an Iranian tour operator when he was arrested on false charges of spying on 3rd October 2022, becoming a political hostage.
He shared "Satan's block" in Mashhad prison with political prisoners and drug traffickers - and condemned inmates awaiting execution.
He was released from prison in May 2023 after being held hostage for seven months.
Bernard Phelan grew up in Stillorgan, Dublin and lives in Paris with his husband.
Bernard Phelan was detained on 3 October 2022 in the north-eastern city of Mashad in Iran during a wave of anti-government protests that have seen millions take to the streets.

After seven months in prison, he was released on in May 2023. This is his story.
