(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners held in Jiangxi Provincial Women's Prison have been subjected to various forms of abuse and forcibly administered unknown drugs in the authorities' attempts to coerce them into renouncing their belief.
Over the past 17 years, prison guards have used numerous ways to torture the practitioners. Practitioners were beaten, handcuffed and suspended in midair, deprived of sleep, forced to stand for extended periods of time, tied to “tiger benches,” and put in solitary confinement.
Below are a few cases of those who are still held in this prison.
Ms. Luo Jianrong and Ms. Luo Chunfang Force-Fed Unknown Drugs
Ms. Luo Jianrong, 48, from Nancheng County was sentenced to four years in January 2014. She has been forcibly administered unknown drugs, which has resulted in a mental disorder.
Her family went to the prison many times but were not allowed to see her because she refused to renounce Falun Gong.
Ms. Luo Chunfang from Taihe County was also administered unknown drugs. She was handcuffed and then hung up. Her mouth was sealed up with tape to stop her from shouting 'Falun Dafa is good.'
