ABSTRACT
TORTURES IF there ever were a place on earth that could be called hell, it is the Japanese prison in Korea. When John Bunyan wrote his Pilgrim’s Progress two hundred and forty-six years ago, he did not know that he was, in his description of the sufferings of the Faithful, prophesying the fate of the Korean political prisoners at the hands of the Japanese torturers in the twentieth century. The horrors and atrocities being committed by the Japanese officials are beyond belief, and their counterpart is found nowhere in the history of the world. The most tortuous period of the Czarist Russia never witnessed their equal The Mediaeval Inquisition was terrible, but it did not embody that scientific cruelty which the Japanese prison torturers in Korea employ, especially in dealing with political prisoners.
