"For 15 days I was kept blindfolded," Esraa El-Taweel wrote in a letter smuggled out of prison. "I felt as if I were in a grave. It was so bad that I prayed to God to allow me to be resurrected. But I couldnt kneel down. They kidnapped me on the last day of my period. I couldn't wash myself for 17 days."
