The details about the "strict-surveillance class" are as follows: In the strict-surveillance class, Falun Gong practitioners were not allowed to talk to each other at all. They were forced to sit from morning to night, and were not allowed to stand or walk even for a minute. They had to report if they wanted to use the toilet. (The toilet is actually just a barrel put in the doorway, used for holding urine and faeces). The practitioners never had enough food for meals, and they were not allowed to buy food at the snack counter. The guards even threw away the food that the practitioners bought before going to the class because they did not report it to them. It happened frequently that the "messengers" (the prisoners, who were assigned by the guards to watch Falun Gong practitioners) maliciously beat and cursed the practitioners. When the practitioners reported to the team leader, he simply gave a vague excuse in a perfunctory manner, and connived with the "messengers" to persecute Falun Gong practitioners even more. If the practitioners practised the exercises, the guards would pull them to the office or the yard, and brutally beat them. The Falun Gong practitioners held at the Hewan Labour Camp are suffering from severe torture both mentally and physically.
