Exposing the Crimes Committed inside Gansu Province Women's Prison
2007-05-22Gansu Women's Prison officials supported a group of criminal inmates who brutally beat and closely monitored practitioners. Their daily task was to try to force practitioners to write the "four statements" and the so-called "thought report." If the practitioners refused to cooperate, the other inmates would slander Dafa and ruthlessly abuse practitioners with beatings and curses. They would also spit at them, shock them with electric batons, handcuff and hang them, and deprive them of sleep. Practitioners would also be forced to stand against a wall with their heads down, backs against a wall, and with hands up, or they would be hung upside down. -
