Dear Friends

Most of my time at Lai Chi Kok Detention Centre yesterday afternoon 
was spent visiting Chinese men in "Special Units"
= solitary confinement.
Some are there "for protection".
Some are there for disciplinary reasons.
Some men who are put in these units for a short time
actually enjoy "the quiet and peace"...away from the noisy rooms of 50 or more.

Outside many of these cells there's a sign saying "loss of privileges": no cigarettes/newspapers etc

All of the men in these cells are well cared for by the staff.
All have regular meals + a daily "outing" for exercise (about 40 minutes in an exercise area).

It's a bit like an old-time monastery: no alcohol, no women, no TV
....and only the Bible to read!   (...and read it they do...)

------

On this 15th of the month, Jesus please bless the people of Liaoning
(Please join me in praying for one part of China each day of the month)

Today's English editorial in the Ming Pao newspaper (HK),
"Yam's suggestions totally inappropriate" (June 15)
and my recording of same, 
can be accessed here  from midday HK time June 15 to mid-evening HK time June 15

My Bible Plan for today = Readings for the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Thank you for a prayer

God bless!
