9. [Jinan City, Shandong Province] The Situation at Jinan City' Women's Prison
Jinan City' Women's Prison holds most of the women practitioners from Shandong Province who have been sentenced. After arrival, the first step is to brainwash practitioners in attempt to force them to give up Falun Gong. Practitioners are then divided and sent to different sections in the prison. Practitioners are forced to work. In summertime they work until 1:00 a.m., then they rise by 6:00 a.m. and continue to work. In the wintertime, they work until around 10:00 p.m. every day.
They use a point system and term-reduction methods there. As a result, in order to get points, the inmates work hard to persuade a practitioner who hasn't been "Reformed" to give up Falun Gong.
When visiting the practitioners, family members are not allowed to send a coat or any clothes with pockets, only underwear and sweaters. When a practitioner meets his/her family, a guard stands by and records their conversation. Groups of practitioners have been sent there with terms ranging from ten to twelve years.
10. [Liaoning Province] Cruel Tortures Practitioners Suffer at Wanjia Forced Labor Camp
In December 2001, I was sent to the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp simply because I practice Falun Gong. The moment I arrived, some Collaborators surrounded me and prevented me from talking with other steadfast practitioners. I staged a hunger strike. On the night of New Year's Eve they surrounding me and I started to eat.
In August 2002, the authorities began attempts to force practitioners to "reform." Warden Lu Zhenshan personally ordered the brainwashing. Male guards moved into the female practitioner's area and four male guards were assigned to a brainwashing class. They took turns around the clock to monitor practitioners. Immediately after they moved in, they searched our cells, tore open our quilts and rummaged through our clothing in the cabinets; they even cut open our sitting mats. We were forced to take off our clothes and only had on underwear; they even searched inside our bras. Later on they forced us to sit on little stools, wear badges, wear prisoners' clothes, count off when going out of a room, do their exercises, recite rules and write the so-called "Three Statements." As I refused to wear the badge, they forced me to squat. Then they took me to a dorm on the second floor and shocked my arms, hands and neck with electric batons and forcibly put a badge on me. When I reached to take it off, they shocked my hands.
Practitioner Ms. Huang Jing refused to recite the rules. Two male guards took her to a small cell and punched her in the face over 30 times. When she was taken back, her eyes, mouth and the whole face became swollen and turned black and blue. She felt dizzy, nauseous and vomited.
Practitioner Ms. Luo Hongyan, 52 years old, refused to recite the rules. She was pulled into a small cell, handcuffed behind the back and tied to a window frame. The guards repeatedly shocked her head, face, mouth, neck and feet with electric batons. They even put the batons inside her clothes to shock her. They shocked her with over 20 batons altogether. They shoved Luo Hongyan against the wall repeatedly so hard that the skin on her hands was torn off. She 'still refused to give in after three days of inhuman torture.
