Prisoners of Conscience

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

What makes a prisoner of conscience? Very often it's an ordinary person in an extraordinary situation-imprisoned, often savagely tortured for no other reason than holding beliefs contrary to those of the regime in power. How do people survive this ordeal? How do they gain their inner strength? To find out the answers. Erik de Mauny has been talking to ex-prisoners of conscience from such countries as the Soviet Union, Chile, Uruguay. South Africa. Pakistan and Turkey. A chilling story told by those who have suffered.
