P.S. I recently got my hands on M. Zygar’s book «The Empire Must Die». Probably any empire sooner or later destroys itself.
Hello, dear friends! I received all your letters dated 08/02/24. Thank you very much for your support and your attention. The news is really very joyful. 16 people have found long-awaited freedom. Even if someone did not expect being freed like this, there is nothing bad in it and what happened should be greatly appreciated — at what cost and labor it was achieved, and you can continue to fight and from there with greater realization, be realized. I hope that everyone will have the opportunity for this. The main thing is not to allow this exchange to turn into an ordinary public action, a showpiece. It is necessary for such work to continue and increase.
I think that the main goal is freedom for people in prisons who are simply, as many here believe, held in captivity. And I agree with this too, they gained freedom, met with their families, especially with their children, restored their health, and did not lose their lives, which is the highest value of a person. Everything else probably fades into the background, self-realization, financial situation, etc. I am asking to put flowers from me to the Berlin Wall if you can. This is a symbol of the reunion with relatives. I really feel this while in prison. I think such a reunion should happen in Korea and everywhere. Borders and barbed wire should not be an obstacle to communication with relatives. Forgive me if I am wrong. I value and love and respect you all very much. Huge greetings to everyone. I hug you all. May the force be with you, peace will definitely come.
