Inscription description
on front of plinth with head: Throughout the world many thousands of people are imprisoned for their beliefs, usually without trial and often in conditions of terrible cruelty. But, while ever their voice can be heard, there is a chance that their cause may ultimately prevail; on front of plinth with hand and forearm: If the outside world knows of their existence and some contact, however tenuous, can be maintained, help might still be possible; on front of plinth with padlock: But if their plight is unknown, or if they are forgotten, the doorway to freedom closes and any flicker of hope is extinguished
