2. Baoji City Nursing School Teacher, Wang Guaiyan, Is Still Being Tortured in the Shaanxi Provincial Women's Labor Camp
Ms. Wang Guaiyan is forty-one years old, and considered an excellent teacher in the Baoji City Nursing School in Shaanxi Province. She was sentenced to three years in a labor camp in 2001, because she went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Dafa. She is still held in the Shaanxi Provincial Women's Labor Camp, and is being inhumanly tortured. She often has wounds on her face from being beaten by the police. Her head is often swollen with bumps from the beatings. There are often bloodstains on her clothes where the torturers stuck three-inch-long needles in her. In September 2004, because she refused to participate in the daily slave labor, Ms. Wang was beaten by a drug addict prisoner who grabbed her hair, kicked her, pinched her belly, and hit her knee with a chair. Ms. Wang had purple bruises all over her body as a result of the beating. However, Ms. Wang still exhibited the compassion of a Falun Dafa disciple, always patiently clarifying the truth to those around her. In the summer of 2004, because she refused to wear the official prison uniform, Ms. Wang was tied to a bed frame and not allowed to sleep for an entire month. The prisoners would curse and beat her with their shoes, and would not allow her to use the toilet.

5. Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Cai Meiqin Inhumanly Tortured by Policewoman Liu Zhongmei
Because Ms. Cai Meiqin firmly cultivated Falun Dafa, she was transferred from a brainwashing class to the Shanxi Provincial Women's Labor Camp on June 5, 2001. The ward leader Liu Zhongmei (female) could not stand Ms. Cai's solid faith and locked her in solitary confinement. She did not allow her to use the toilet or to sleep. She instructed prisoners to slap Ms. Cai's face, beat her constantly, and puncture her hands with three-inch-long steel wire (material used for products). With her hands bleeding, her screams of pain could be heard all the way down the hall. Ms. Cai used to weigh one hundred and sixty pounds when she entered the labor camp, but when she was released on medical parole, she only weighed eighty-eight pounds. With Liu Zhongqin leading, all the police in the Fourth Ward together beat Ms. Cai. Policewoman Liu also extorted seven to eight thousand yuan from her family, telling them that she would use the money help obtain a certification that Cai was mentally ill and have her released. She forced the police to take Ms. Cai to the mental hospital, but the doctors there determined that she was perfectly normal. Police then forced her take various psychotropic drugs through a force-feeding tube, which made her nose and stomach bleed.
