Besides brainwashing, I was forced to sit on a small stool from 5 a.m. to midnight or 1 a.m. daily for 5 months.

Inmate Fu Bo, assigned to monitor me, made sure that I did not fall asleep and took a portion of my food.

Although I was transferred to a different team in the same ward after five months and to another ward after one year, I still had to constantly sit on the small stool.

Ms. Dai's buttocks was injured from sitting on the stool for long periods, and her legs were still numb one year after her release from prison.

I was released on June 9, 2014.

Tortured in Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp

I was sentenced to three years of forced labor at the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp on January 6, 2003.

Guard Liu Yadong and Zhang Xiaodan shocked me with electrical batons. They made a great effort to have me give up Falun Gong. Liu tied my hands behind my back with one hand crossed over a shoulder and one hand down, for about 40 or 50 minutes. He also verbally abused me.

Guards demanded that I write statements that slander Falun Gong in June, 2003. Since I refused, I was beaten for over an hour and then tied to a metal bed around the clock for 26 days.

I was not allowed to groom myself, such as wash my face or brush my teeth for over two weeks
