Open your newspaper any day of the week and you will find a report from somewhere in the world of someone being imprisoned, tortured or executed because his opinion or religion is unacceptable to his government. There are several million such people in prison - by no means all of them behind the Iron and Bamboo curtains - and their numbers are growing. The newspaper reader feels a sickening sense of impotence. Yet if these feelings of disgust all over the world could be united in common action, something effective could be done.
