"His eyes brimmed with tears several times when he discussed his family,
especially when he described seeing their shoes when he returned home for
the first time Tuesday. 'I completely lost control of my emotions'
"His previous imprisonment and run-ins with police — including a time in
2007 when security forces gave him electric shocks to his genitals and
placed cigarettes in his eyes — helped him survive the last 14 months.
(b) Though I am not familiar with him, I was still taken aback to see the
latest photograph of Attorney Gao at VOA Chinese. Many Taiwanese--who were
not even dissidents--were imprisoned by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek at
outposts (such as 綠島) for decades. Some who were eventually released were
said to be reticent and fearful. Oppression can warp people's mind--and body
