Authorities at Division 1 at the Heilongjiang Women's Prison Still Brutally Torture Dafa Practitioners

The persecution at Division 1 of the Heilongjiang Women's Prison is still very severe. During 2004, several Dafa practitioners were hung up seven times until the handcuffs cut into their wrists and they lost consciousness. Practitioners Liu Xuewei and Yu Xiuying were verbally abused when holding a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Liu Xuewei was brutally force-fed.

When Dafa practitioners sit in the double crossed-legged (full lotus) position, erect their palms in front of their chests or do the Falun Gong exercises, the inmates are ordered to shove, push, stomp on them, kick or pinch them. They also verbally abuse the practitioners with the most vulgar language, and spread rumors about the practitioners.

Practitioners Chen Weijun, Yu Xiuying, Gao Xiuzhen, Gao Guizhen, Zhang Jing, Guan Shuling, Xu Jingfeng, Zhang Xiaobo, Zhang Linwen, Zhang Liping, Zhang Shufen, Yao Yuming, Liu Xuewei, Fan Guoxia, Xu Jiayu and others were severely tortured. Practitioner Wang Juyan was detained in solitary confinement and placed under strict surveillance. The practitioners held at the ward for sick prisoners and at the ward for prisoners working at the packaging workshop are not allowed to sleep and are forced to wear torture implements.
