Brutal Persecution at the Jiangxi Province Women's Forced Labour Camp
2010-03-04There is an intensive management district inside the Jiangxi Province Women's Forced Labour Camp. Most of the Falun Gong practitioners are held there. The prison authorities divided a large room into 8 square meter rooms with one door and one small window. It usually held three people, one practitioner and two other inmates who were monitoring the practitioner at all times. The practitioner is not allowed to go to the toilet outside. Everything was forced to be done in the room and the room's air was terrible, particularly in the summer time. One could hardly breathe due to lack of fresh air and the clothes would stick to the body because of the sweat. Practitioners were also subjected to slave labour.
