U.S party delegation meets former unconverted long-term prisoners

Pyongyang, April 24 (KCNA) -- Members of the delegation of the Workers World Party of the U.S. led by Deirdre Griswold, member of the secretariat of its national committee, met with Kim Tong Gi and Hong Myong Gi, former unconverted long-term prisoners who are known as men of strong faith and will, at Pyongyang Koryo Hotel yesterday. At the meeting, Kim and Hong said that the former long-term prisoners had kept their pledge to the party and the leader, while undergoing mental and physical sufferings beyond human imagination behind bars, and devoted themselves to the motherland more precious than their lives.

Noting that leader Kim Jong Il put forward them as patriotic champions of reunification and bestowed deep love and benevolence upon them, they said there is no enemy to be afraid of and nothing impossible to do when people have the revolutionary faith and will to follow only Kim Jong Il.
