(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Xu Jiayu is a Chinese language teacher in the Fifth Self-Established School in the No.1 Heavy Machinery Group. She was tortured many times for practicing Falun Gong. Currently Xu Jiayu is being detained in the Women's Prison in Heilongjiang Province.

On the night of April 19, 2002, Xu Jiayu was arrested by police from the Fulaerji Police Branch. She was beaten with a rolling pin, and then her feet were pinned under the rolling pin, with two people standing on it. She was also handcuffed and not allowed to sleep.

On April 21, Xu Jiayu was taken to a secret room in the Great Wall Restaurant in Fulaerji and put on a metal chair. They put a motorcycle helmet on her head, handcuffed her hands behind her back, and struck her repeatedly in the face with rolled up magazines. In the afternoon, she was detained in the bathroom and tied to the urinal. She was drenched with pressurized water and hung up by the handcuffs behind her back. She was tortured and held until the afternoon of April 22, and then sent to the Fulaerji Detention Center.

On the morning of April 25, a policeman called Xu Jiayu to the corridor from the cell and suddenly covered her head with a black cloth. She was then dragged and kicked into a car. She was sent to the Houkuledu Village Police Branch in the suburb of Fulaerji. They took instruments of torture into the car as well, such as an iron chair and an A-frame with a pulley. Lang Jianfei, the leader of the third police team, claimed that he had brought instruments for squeezing her fingers and toes. Deputy Director Li in the Fulaerji Police Branch ordered people to torture her to the last breath.

On the evening of April 26, Xu Jiayu's head was covered by a black hood, and she was beaten with a large wooden board on her feet. Then she was dragged to the A-frame to be hung up. As she was hung up in the air, she was beaten with a wooden board. She was beaten so hard that she spun around in the air. After her tormentors let her down, they stepped on her face while wearing leather shoes. Then she was hung up again and beaten with a big wooden board. Later she was released and put in the iron chair in the courtyard, and was drenched with cold water. After that, she was dragged into the room, handcuffed to the chair with her hands behind her back, dragged back outside, and drenched with cold water again. The process was repeated many times. On April 29, Xu Jiayu was sent to the Fulaerji Detention Center. She was covered with bruises and could not lift her arms.

In July 2002, Xu Jiayu was detained in the Heilongjiang Detention Center and secretly interrogated. When she was put on trial at the Longjiang Court, the authorities did not notify her family or work unit. She was not allowed to present a defense during the trial. On January 21, 2003, Xu Jiayu was sent to the Heilongjiang Women's Prison's first ward. Criminal offenders were used to monitor Dafa disciples there. In addition to harassment and verbal abuse from the inmates, Xu Jiayu was slapped in the face with a plastic board by the guards. On March 9, she was detained in the "strictly monitored section." She was forced to sit on a small plastic bench and was closely monitored by criminal offenders. She was not allowed to move even a little bit and had to listen to slanderous broadcasts at the highest volume from the stereo.

On December 27, 2006, Xu Jiayu was sent to the newly established 13^th Ward to be brainwashed. From 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., she was forced to watch videos insulting Falun Dafa. Guards designated criminal offenders to force her to write the "four statements" to renounce her beliefs. They also ordered inmates to watch her constantly, including not allowing her legs to bend as she slept . Deputy Team Leader Jia Wenjun of the 13^th Ward came to talk to her at night and kept her from sleeping. During the ordeal, Xu Jiayu's husband was in the hospital with a serious illness. The police tried to use that against her to try to force her to renounce her beliefs until he died. On May 20, 2007, they found that they could not get Ms. Xu to give up Falun Gong and sent her to the 3^rd Ward to be persecuted.
