Giles Romilly
Giles Samuel Bertram Romilly,( 19 September 1916 – 2 August 1967), was a journalist, Second World War POW, brother of Esmond Romilly, and nephew of Winston Churchill through his wife Clementine Churchill.
Romilly was educated at Wellington College and Oxford University, and then served as a war correspondent in both the Spanish Civil War and in the Second World War.
He was captured in May 1940 in the Norwegian town of Narvik while reporting for the" Daily Express".
Romilly was the first German prisoner to be classified as" Prominente", prisoners regarded by Adolf Hitler to be of great value due to their relationships to prominent Allied political figures.
Because of his importance to Hitler, Romilly was imprisoned in Oflag IV- C( Colditz Castle), from where escape was perceived to be almost impossible.
Romilly lived in relative comfort with the other" Prominente" who would later join him at Colditz, although they were all watched 24 hours a day in case they should attempt to escape.
Romilly used this position to his advantage and caused trouble by issuing complaints at every conceivable annoyance.
Amongst the list, he took offence to the noise created by the boots of his guard outside his door, preventing him from sleeping.
Following a visit from the Red Cross, a red carpet was placed outside his door to dull the sound.
Romilly did successfully escape however, whilst the" Prominente" were being moved to" Oflag VII- D" Tittmoning Castle in April 1945.
The camp was home to some Dutch officers amongst whom was captain Machiel van den Heuvel," Vandy".
Romilly and Vandy knew each other from their Colditz time where Vandy was the Dutch escape officer.
Vandy was transferred to Tittmoning because of his leading role as escape officer and the Germans thought he could do no more harm in Tittmoning where most prisoners were older officers of general rank.
Vandy however had his next escape plan ready and together with two Dutch officers, Romilly abseiled down the castle walls.
The remainder of the" Prominente" hid in the castle in hopes of conveying the impression that they had all escaped.
After four days they were all discovered.
Romilly, in spite of the 3,000 men that were searching for him, succeeded in reaching the Allied lines.
This was due mainly to the gallant action of lieutenant Andre Tieleman, a Dutch officer who was fluent in German and French.
With their false identity papers identifying them as French( forced) labourers they managed to escape.
When interrogated by German officials, Lt Tieleman did the talking while Romilly pretended to be deaf and dumb.
In this way they managed to escape into freedom.
After the war Romilly returned to journalism.
In 1952 he wrote the memoir" The Privileged Nightmare", later reissued as" Hostages at Colditz", with fellow" Prominente" Michael Alexander, who had earned the status by falsely claiming to be a relative of Field Marshal Harold Alexander.
Romilly died in Berkeley, California in 1967 of a tranquilliser overdose.
He was in the process of researching a book on the American novel at the time.
David Ji
David Longfen Ji is an American businessman who co-founded Apex Digital, an electronics manufacturer.
In 2004, he was arrested in China following a dispute with Sichuan Changhong Electric, a supplier owned by the city of Mianyang and the province of Sichuan.
Changhong accused him of defrauding them through bad checks.
Ji was taken, according to an account by his lawyer, to the senior management and told, "I decide whether you live or die."
He has been held in China without charges.
Ji's case highlighted an "implicit racism" in dealings with American businessmen.
As a U.S. citizen he was not granted the same treatment by authorities as non-ethnically Chinese businessmen sharing the same nationality.

Multiple people share the name George Augustus:
Esmond Romilly
Esmond Marcus David Romilly( 10 June 1918 – 30 November 1941) was a British socialist, anti-fascist and journalist, who was in turn a schoolboy rebel, a veteran with the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War and, following the outbreak of the Second World War, an observer with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
He is perhaps best remembered for his teenage elopement with his distant cousin Jessica Mitford, the youngest- but- one of the Mitford sisters.
Born into an aristocratic family – he was a nephew of Clementine Churchill – he emerged in the 1930s as a precocious rebel against his background, openly espousing communist views at the age of fifteen.
He ran away from Wellington College, and campaigned vociferously against the British public school system, by publishing a critical left wing magazine," Out of Bounds: Public Schools' Journal Against Fascism, Militarism and Reaction", and( jointly with his brother) a memoir analysing his school experiences.
At the age of eighteen he joined the International Brigades and fought on the Madrid front during the Spanish Civil War, of which he wrote and published a vivid account.
Before departing for Spain, Romilly had largely abandoned communism( he never formally joined the party) in favour of democratic socialism.
Unable to settle in London, he and his wife relocated to America in 1939.
When the Second World War broke out Romilly enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and began training as a pilot, but was discharged on medical grounds.
He re-enlisted, and retrained as an observer.
Posted back to England, he lost his life when his plane failed to return from a bombing raid in November 1941.
