(Clearwisdom.net) The authorities of Lanzhou City Jail in Gansu Province have brutally persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners since November 1, 2005. Some practitioners were locked in jail cells with four prisoners who followed the authorities' orders to watch each practitioner. The inmates refused to let practitioners sleep. Each practitioner was fed only one steamed bun and a small cup of water per day. This was one of the ways they persecuted practitioners mentally and physically.

Some practitioners were locked in confined cells with bother their hands and feet cuffed. Others were further tortured by being hung up in the air. The practitioners' lives were truly at risk at all times.

Six cases of persecution were particularly serious. Sun Zhaohai was locked in a confined cell for a month, from November 7 to December 8, 2005. After his release, they arrested him again and locked him in a small cell, where four prisoners watched him and deprived him of any sleep. Wei Xingzhu was locked in a confined cell for 28 days and Li Wenming for a month. Zhang Guangli was also locked in a confined cell. An Jiheng and Wang Yanwen are still being brutally persecuted by the authorities.

According to inside information, police officers from Beijing went to Lanzhou City Jail to try to force practitioners to sign repentance statements. They used eight prisoners to persecute one practitioner. If a practitioner did not sign a repentance statement, he or she was not allowed to sleep, plus the officer in charge would lose his or her job.
