  2007-03-24

To prevent the report from being discovered as a lie by the public, the prison transferred over a dozen practitioners to other prison wards. In 2002, Dafa practitioner Tang Xuebin refused to be "transformed," refused to wear a prison uniform and to call out "report" before entering the prison offices. The prison guards forced him to run on the field. When Tang Xuebin would not comply, the prison guards made some inmates drag him and run.
