"Wurmbrand, playboy turned preacher, was held for 14 years in Communist prisons. His jailers tried to force him to confess that he was part of an imperialist spy network. But in spite of beatings, torture, and drugging, his spirit did not break. An unforgettable gallery of thieves, murderers, saints and sinners shared his cell until each man in turn passed through the gap of death. Wurmbrand was jailed for 14 years because he refused to recant his Christian beliefs, but he also spoke out against (from the pulpit) the government of the Rumanian Popular Republic. At one point church organisations in the West paid a ransom for him of 2,500 British Pounds.
