Forced Labor in Yongchuan Women's Prison The Minghui website (the Chinese version of Clearwisdom) has
reported that Ms. Liu Fanqin from Chongqing was held at the Dadukou District
Detention Center (telephone number: 86-23-68830238), that her arms became
disabled from extended hours of hanging, and that she couldn't take care of
herself. Those responsible were afraid that Ms. Liu's fellow practitioners and
her family would request her release, so, on August 4, 2005, they collaborated
with the Yongchuan Women's Prison and secretly sent her to that prison in a
police car. They sentenced Ms. Liu to nine years of forced labor. This is in
direct defiance of the regulation spelled out in the Prison Law of China not to
accept people who can't take care of themselves or people who are disabled.
