Quote:
Kim Sun-myung the worlds longest serving political prisoner who was behind bars from 1951 to 1995 for trying to keep his freedom of conscience. Kim and other like minded inmates maintained their own little North Korea in the prison, calling each other "comrade" and comunicating their emotions by tapping morse code on the walls. Their lives were not much different from the lives of other convicts until Park Chung-hee decided to compel them to write letters renouncing communism.


OMG I saw this exact quote in the Korean Herald today to describe a movie made about him. I can't remember the name though will look when I get home.
