Chinese Prisoners to be Moved from Koje Island
Brig. Gen. Haydon L. Boatner ordered the transfer of all Chinese Communist prisoners from Koje Island prisons to the Korean mainland at 6 am tomorrow. Compound 603 will be broken into smaller 500-man groups while compounds 96 and 602 are emptied. Prisoners in Compound 96 will be moved only for searches for tunnels and weapons, then returned at night. A tunnel was found in Compound 66 with a prisoner dead, rope-bounded, likely a kangaroo court execution.
