Dr Berhanu Nega was imprisoned 2 years ago for being the leader of the main opposition party in Ethiopia. He is a New School alumnus, so we formed a protest group (site here) to help spread awareness of Berhanu's situation. He was recently released, and came to the New School to express his thanks. Here's a video of Dr. Nega recounting his experiences in prison. It's also a heartening story of collective action at work in the world. Other videos are here.
