(Minghui.org) The Hebei Province Women’s Prison has been jailing local women for their faith in Falun Gong, since the communist regime launched a nationwide campaign against Falun Gong in July 1999.

The prison authorities subject practitioners to intensive brainwashing and various forms of abuse. In recent years, at least one practitioner was confirmed to have died as a result of abuse in the prison. Another practitioner recently finished serving a three-year term. Five other practitioners are still serving sentences of various lengths.
