Stephen Hubbard on Learning He Was Finally Free: ‘I Reached the State Where Seeing Is Believing’

EXCERPT:

HUBBARD: “I — I had heard it many times before, and I reached the state where seeing is believing. Actions speak louder than words. I never trusted what they said, only when they started giving me new clothes and leading me to the exit of the prison. I went out and I saw the car, and I was accompanied by a couple of Russians. Then I believed, finally believed, you know, on the drive from Moscow to Saint Petersburg, I’m really going somewhere.”
