Heilongjiang Provincial Women's Prison Instigates Criminals to Abuse Dafa Practitioners

(Clearwisdom.net) Heilongjiang Provincial Women's Prison persecutes Falun Dafa practitioners not only through verbal abuse, prolonged exposure to freezing cold, starvation, and beatings, but also by assigning as many as four criminals to monitor one practitioner around the clock, and even requiring that the monitoring records, in turn, be signed by guards supervising the group. Other torture methods used on female Dafa practitioners at the prison include shocking with electric batons, beating with a policeman's rope, prolonged handcuffing in painful positions, not allowing restroom use, etc. Another new method of abuse is called "lone supervision."

"Lone supervision" is when two criminals act as "watchdogs" to monitor one Falun Dafa practitioner continuously, in order to cut her off from all outside ties and to persecute her secretly. One of the criminals assigned to monitor Dafa practitioners in the prison is part-time, and the other is full-time. Criminals who do this full-time do not have to do other work and spend their prison term persecuting Dafa practitioners. These criminals work very hard to viciously persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. They often beat and scold these women, and resort to all means. On one occasion, a criminal surnamed Wu put her hands into a Dafa practitioner's vagina to sadistically harm her when she was immobilized in a torture device. Some criminals who are entrusted with heavy responsibilities in monitoring female Dafa practitioners sexually abuse them.

From May to July 2004, women who were subjected to this kind of torture in the Seventh Supervising District are Ms. Miao Xiaolu, Ms. Chen Yunxia, Ms. Zheng Hongli, Ms. Zheng Jinbo, Ms. Sun Guizhi, Ms. Wang Fajuan, Ms. Li Dongxue, Ms. Liu Yaqin, Ms. Han Xingli and others. Those participating in the persecution are head of the supervising district Kang Yazhen, deputy head Cui Yan, police officer Wu Xuesong, criminal Zhang Qingmei, Song Xiaolei and others. Wu Lijun, Wang Shuxia, Pan Qingli and Shen Jinge witnessed this. Dafa practitioners in the Eighth Supervising District reported these crimes to the Procuratorate, exposing how the prison guards broke the law, but the women's prison did not stop the brutal persecution.

In 2004, the First Supervising District brutally tortured Falun Dafa practitioners as many as six or seven times. On December 21 and 29, the First Supervising District set up an illegal torture chamber. Ms. Guan Shuling, Ms. Zhang Liping, Ms. Zhang Jing, Ms. Zhang Xiaobo, Ms. Zhang Linwen, Ms. Chen Weijun and other Dafa practitioners were hung up by their handcuffs for prolonged periods of time. Ms. Chen Weijun's legs were bound. After these women passed out from being cruelly hung up for so long, they were injected with drugs. After Ms. Guan was injected with an unknown drug, she vomited and couldn't walk straight. On December 31, Ms. Guan was transferred to another place to be supervised. On January 3, 2005, Ms. Wang Juyan was also supervised. After Ms. Wang stopped her hunger strike and before her health had recovered, she suffered serious torture for four days. After Ms. Guan was kept in the freezing cold for a number of days, they then tortured her for another five days. On January 13, Ms. Wang was secretly put into a solitary confinement cell. Ms. Liu Shufen shouted, "Falun Dafa is good," and they sealed her mouth with tape. Recently, she was handcuffed on the ice-cold ground. Both of her legs were tied up and she was not allowed to sit cross-legged. The guards were afraid that the news would get out, so they threatened the criminals who participated in these heinous crimes and ordered them to "keep their mouths shut." Those who participated in the persecution are the head of the supervising district Cui Hongmei, the deputy head Xia Fengying, guards Lu Huan, Lu Min, He Yuqing, Yu Li, Lu Hongjun, Liu Xiaofang, clerk Yue, among others. The criminals who participated are Man Yuyue, Han Jianying, Bai Xiaoli, Wang Jindan, Chen Fanghui, Sun Xiuyun, Sheng Qiaomei, Feng Xiaobo and others, totaling over ten people. In "supervising," those who secretly suffered from persecution include Ms. Ding Yu, Ms. Zhang Shuzhe, Ms. Liu Shufen and others. Cases of Dafa practitioners imprisoned in solitary confinement cells need to be investigated in detail.
