9. [Hefei City, Anhui Province] Officers of the Hefei Brainwashing Class and Labor Camp Torture Ms. Xu Wanzhen

Ms. Xu Wanzhen, a Falun Dafa practitioner in Hefei, has endured much persecution in the labor camp.

In the winter, when temperatures were well below freezing, Ms. Xu was forced to lie on the cold floor in a room where the doors were open and the roof was made of asbestos tiles so that the freezing wind blew over her. She was not allowed to talk or dry her clothes. She was monitored even in the bathroom.

Whenever Ms. Xu attempted to do the exercises, the officers took off her sweater and cotton jacket and force her to stand in the cold for several hours. When Ms. Xu attempted to study the Fa, the guards took away her book and stripped the buttons off her sweater.

Police ransacked Ms. Xu's home and took her away in a police car. She was sentenced to one and half years in prison. Practitioners like Ms. Xu, who refused to renounce Falun Dafa, were confined in tiny cells and constantly handcuffed. Each day in the labor camp, the practitioners have to work for over thirteen hours. They do not get enough food, even though the camp charges 100 yuan for meals each month.

Practitioners were subjected to brainwashing with Chinese Communist Party propaganda and forced to sing songs that glorify the Party.
