Two Falun Gong practitioners who are on a hunger strike in a Singapore prison may receive a warning letter from the prison or be locked in special punishment cells.
According to a report in the Singapore Strait Times , a prison spokesman said that according to the Prisons Act, refusing food is illegal. He added that if the prisoners' lives are at risk during the hunger strike, they will be treated with an intravenous drip.
Two Falun Gong practitioners Mrs. Ng Chye Huay and Mrs. Cheng Lujin are accused of "assembly without permit" and "possession and distribution of VCDs without a Certificate" and were sentenced on April 27. They were ordered to pay 24,000 and 20,000 Singapore dollars respectively (US$12,307 and US$14,653). They refused to accept the verdict and were sent to Changi Women's Prison.
