Pavel Vošický – the political prisoner who helped shape Jimmy Carter’s presidential campaign

When many of his friends were starting university, Pavel Vošický was
getting a different sort of education, hearing the stories of political
prisoners of various stripes in some of the most notorious jails in
communist Czechoslovakia. Barely out of his teens, Vošický had been
found
guilty of sedition while on military service. This followed visits he had
begun making to Prague’s British Embassy some years earlier.
