Twenty years ago, Natan Sharansky was jailed for being a refusnik (re-FYOOZ-nik) and his part in working for the rights of Russian Jews to emigrate. The Soviet Union called him a spy and threw him in prison. Today the CBC's Mike Hornbrook reports on Sharansky's return to the prison. This time, the prison visit was on Sharansky's itinerary as a foreign dignitary...he is now the Israeli Minister of Trade and Industry.
