• Hunan Province Women's Prison Officials Train Inmates to Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners

  2009-08-26
  Hunan Province Women's Prison specializes in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners to get them to "reform." Officials have recruited a group of extremely vicious inmates and trained them to abuse practitioners. The prison has established seven brainwashing cells to target Falun Gong practitioners who have refused to "reform." Each cell holds one practitioner and three inmates. If the practitioner shouts "Falun Gong is good" or "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" or refuses to "reform," the inmates' terms will be extended; however, if the inmates make the practitioner "reform" and give up Falun Gong practice, regardless of what method they use, they will earn credits, a promotion, or term reduction.
