Oh, Jane, I have tears of joy about this, after tears of sorrow for the evil done to those poor captives for so long.
Joy ... is the operative word, in your post.
Reminding me of the book of Phllippians .... one of the most joyous books in the Bible .... written from prison!
May these political prisoners be blessed with His grace, peace, and, ultimate joy...just like Paul. God bless them, all. And, their families, who’ve suffered, needlessly!!
