(Baonghean.vn) - During a pilgrimage to pay tribute to the 70th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day, on July 21, officials and reporters of Nghe An Newspaper visited the only female former prisoner still living in Con Dao.

That is Ms. Nguyen Thi Ni, born in 1939, originally from Tien Giang, who participated in local revolutionary activities since the 1960s.

After being exposed, she was transferred to work secretly in Saigon. From 1964 to 1968, she participated in many activities to build a base to prepare for the 1968 Mau Than general offensive. In 1971, she was captured by the enemy. After being interrogated in many prisons in Thu Duc and Tan Hiep, she was exiled to Con Dao.

She was imprisoned here for 3 years, experiencing many beatings and brutal tortures by the enemy. However, the female revolutionary soldier was still brave and persistent, fighting with many fellow prisoners with faith in the revolutionary ideal.

After being returned by the enemy in March 1974 due to not being able to exploit anything, she returned to Hoc Mon, then to Tien Giang.

Right after Con Dao was liberated, even though she had a stable job in her hometown, she and her husband, who also participated in taking over Con Dao, chose this historic island to live the rest of their lives.

On this occasion, a delegation from Nghe An Newspaper visited and gave gifts to encourage the former female prisoner./.
