On December 12, 2005, attorney Gao Zhisheng wrote his third public letter to the Chinese government titled “We Must Immediately Stop the Brutality That Suffocates Our Nation's Conscience and Morality.”

In his letter, he said, "We can see that the power symbolized by the number 610 continues to "interface" with the public through ways such as killing a person's body and spirit, shackles, chains, electric shock tortures, and 'tiger benches' ... The nature of this power has become that of a criminal gang. It continues to torture our mothers, sisters, children, and our entire nation."
