"A former All Burma Students' Democratic Front soldier greets his son on the housing estate where they live in Sheffield. On the Thailand/Burma frontier, he had been detained by Burma Army soldiers who repeatedly tortured him, forced him to dig his own grave, and would have executed him had orders not come through from a higher authority that they needed to further interrogate him. The family was resettled in the UK by the UN. "
