1. [Sichuan Province] Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners at Group 8 in the Nanmusi Women’s Forced Labor Camp

I am a Falun Dafa practitioner and was once persecuted at Group 8 at the Nanmusi Women’s Forced Labor Camp. I want to expose what I have seen at the labor camp.

Li Qi, head of Group 8, used various torture methods such as solitary confinement and "Fly Against the Wall." Li Qi tied practitioners to trees, gagged them with towels, and dragged them on the floor. Li Qi gathered all determined Dafa practitioners together to "strictly control" them, and ordered inmates to read books that slander Falun Dafa's Teacher. Dafa practitioners who refused to cooperate with the evildoers shouted, "Falun Dafa is good." The persecutors tied practitioners Ms. Huang Zhilan, Ms. Zhang Yaqiong, Ms. Fan Ying and several others to trees. They put a greasy, filthy towel into Huang Zhilan’s mouth. One day, Li Qi took Huang Zhilan into the office, closed the door and beat her with a police baton. We heard the beating, even though we were outside.

One practitioner named Ms. Luo had her legs tied up in the double-cross position for 24 hours. Another practitioner, Chao Naixing, was hung from a window on the third floor by her handcuffs, practitioner Xiao Hongjun was held two months beyond her term and then still not released. We refused to cooperate with the officials during a military drill. Four inmates from Group 5 dragged us back and forth on the floor until our clothes and socks were completely shredded.

2. [Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Hui Hui Illegally Sentenced to Seven-and-a-half Years in Prison

Officers from the Xiangfengdao Police Station ransacked Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Hui Hui’s home in the Lubei District of Tangshan City on April 14, 2006.

She was recently sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison and transferred to the Hebei Women’s Prison on January 23, 2007.

There are ten wards at the Hebei Province Women’s Prison. Each ward holds 15 or 16 Dafa practitioners. Many practitioners went on a hunger strike to firmly voice their protest against heavy labor and brainwashing. Practitioner Yu Jingxia saw a fellow practitioner being persecuted and shouted to protest the abuse. Several inmates savagely beat her. She was held in solitary confinement for fifteen days. The guards assign two inmates to monitor every Dafa practitioner who refuses to reform. The inmates follow the practitioners everywhere and report their every move.

Practitioner Liu Xiaorong from Hebei Province firmly resisted the persecution and requested unconditional release. She has been on hunger strike for 11 months, and her weight is now down to 27.5 kg [60.5 lbs]. She is extremely weak, and her life is in danger.
