Former Unconverted Long-Term Prisoner Kim Jong Ho Passes Away

KCNA

    Pyongyang, November 22 (KCNA) -- Former Unconverted Long-Term Prisoner Kim Jong Ho died of the whole body malfunction of all-internal organs caused by hard tortures at a prison in south Korea on Nov. 21, Juche 92 (2003) at the age of 87. According to the obituary of his death published on Friday, he was born in Kimchon City, North Kyongsang Province on August 2, 1916 and wandered about in a foreign country, experiencing sorrows of a ruined nation during the period of the Japanese imperialists' military occupation.
    Only after President Kim Il Sung liberated the country he could lead a true human life in the homeland.
    He worked at local and national institutions right after the liberation of the country and during the Fatherland Liberation War and he devoted himself to the cause of national reunification after the war.
    He firmly defended his revolutionary faith in the Party and the leader and principle as a member of the Workers' Party of Korea while braving severe punishment and appeasement for his "ideological convert" for over 30 years after he was unfortunately arrested by enemies while struggling for national reunification.
    Thanks to the historic June 15 joint declaration he was embraced by the Party. He had since remained faithful to the Party to the last moment of his life with a single heart to repay to the benevolent care of leader Kim Jong Il.
