Prisoners of Conscience

[nbc%inf.rl.ac.uk@mitvma.mit.edu]

Just for the record - the two people who Kate spoke on behalf of in the
Prisoners of Conscience spot last Thursday on BBC 2 were both South Koreans
imprisoned by their government for supposedly collaborating with the North.
Kate described their work, the reasons why they had been imprisoned and
their current condition (as far as it was known).

They were Hong Song-Dam a woodcut artist and Chang Ui-gyun a poet. Both had
been jailed under feeble contexts and tortured. I have no information as
to whether Kate chose these people herself from a list offered by
Amnesty International or whether she offered her services for whoever they
wanted to select.
