Ms. Guo was kept alone in Cell 109 on the first floor of No. 12 Ward. Two to four prisoners, instigated by prison guards, took turns verbally assaulting her and pressuring her to stop practicing. She was not allowed to go to the toilet or sleep if she refused to plead guilty or write the “five statements.” She was physically punished by being made to stand in an area the size of one brick without moving. They forced her to watch videos that slandered Master and Falun Gong. When she became sleepy, she was not allowed to close her eyes.
