• A Prison Monitor's Repentance

  2006-03-06
  The prison policy says that a criminal who has been locked up for three years or more is qualified to monitor Falun Gong practitioners and be involved in their reform. Some 610 Office agents told us in a meeting that if we wanted to get our sentences reduced, and if we don't want to do the heavy labour, then we should try all kinds of methods to torture Falun Gong practitioners, both physically and mentally. We should try our best to crush their wills. If we beat them to death, it will be counted as death from natural causes or suicide, especially for those solid practitioners. We should not have fear, for we have the support from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and we should just go ahead and do it.
