Women's Prison in Liaoning Province Continues to Torture Falun Dafa Practitioners

Jan. 6, 2006 |   By a Falun Dafa Practitioner in Liaoning Province, China

(Clearwisdom.net) According to first hand information, many Falun Dafa practitioners are still being persecuted in Liaoning Province's Women Prison. In the No. 1 prison section alone, more than ten Dafa practitioners are enduring inhuman treatments. All of them have experienced different kinds of cruel atrocities and contemptuous means of brainwashing. Among them is Jinzhou City Dafa practitioner, Ms. Wang Lanzhi, about 49 years old. Her name is well known to all the prison guards and the few hundred inmates inside the prison; everyone knows her story. At present, Ms. Wang is in an extremely dangerous condition. The tortures have caused serious damage to her brain; she reacts very slowly and the expression in her eyes is dull. One time she jumped from a building after a day's work and nearly died from the injuries.

Ms. Wang was sworn at or beaten every day since she arrived at the prison. On the first day, more than ten prisoners surrounded her and beat her up. Zhang Yanping, a convicted murderer, admitted that when she beat Wang Lanzhi, she would slap her over thirty times in one shot. The prisoners pinched all over Wang Lanzhi's body, causing blotchy bruises to appear. Prisoners Zhang Yan, Xuan Jinchun and Zhou Xueying would find any excuse to beat up Wang Lanzhi when they were in a bad mood. They claimed that they had the freedom to do so at will without any prison authorities being notified. The prison guards warned Wang Lanzhi that she had to get permission from the two inmates that were assigned to monitor her 24-hours-a day before she could speak to the division captains.

The guards pretended not to see that Wang Lanzhi was brutally beaten; furthermore, they secretly ordered her monitors not to give her any freedom. They even restricted the way she walked and ate. Division Captain Jiao Shimei commented that Wang Lanzhi needed to be "fixed." It is reported that these prisoners have all received retribution for harming Ms. Wang in the way of hand and shoulder pain. Wang Lanzhi advised them to not hit Dafa practitioners, but not only did they not listen, the torture got worse. When their hands ached, they beat her with slipper soles or clothes hangers and stuffed her mouth with rags to silence her screams.

From late March to early May of 2005, the education section director, Guo Haiyan, and the official in charge of the number 3 prison section, An Xin, cruelly persecuted Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhao Aili for more than one month. They instructed Shi Xiuli and Chen Guixin (two convicted murderers), and Ma Li (a drug dealer), to beat and torture Ms. Zhao continuously, day and night. They set up what they called a "punishment hall" and tied and hung up Zhao Aili for five hours. Then they used an obscene method: they stripped Zhao Aili naked. When Zhao Aili tried to stop them and resist the atrocity, both Chen Guixin and Ma Li held down Ms. Zhao's hands and Shi Xiuli knocked out four of her teeth.

After Haicheng City Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhao Junfang was beaten up numerous times by the criminals, her eyes and face were badly hurt and she had to stay in the hospital for quite a while. Her wound was still covered with gauze at the time of her release from the hospital. She was once brutally beaten up by prisoner Zhang Yingchun. Wang Xiulan, a convicted con artist, collaborated with Zhao Junfang to torture Ms. Zhao inhumanly, after which she walked with a limp. Under the extreme pressure and torture both physically and mentally, Zhao Junfang has become deathly thin and emaciated.

Yingkou City Dafa practitioner Chen Liyan also experienced seriously damaging and painful tortures. Soon after her arrival at the prison, both her legs and eyes started twitching due to the various cruel tortures she had suffered at Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. Ms. Chen often fell when she walked. Once when her two personal monitors Wang Xiulan and Wang Hongxia did not hold her when walking down the stairs, she fell and gashed her head, which needed stitches. Every day the ruffians tried to "transform" Ms. Chen. Her eyes, face and body were beaten so badly that she was covered with bruises. She still has a difficult time walking. Two criminals always hit her and swore at her in front of hundreds of prisoners. Wang Xiulan even claimed loudly in front of Dafa practitioners that there was no need to ask permission from the chief to beat a Dafa practitioner.

Dafa practitioner Ms. Fang's leg was broken during a beating. Her painful experience was beyond description. She now walks lamely and the leg is in serious condition. She was very youthful at the time of her imprisonment, but she is now very old looking and her hair has turned white. A "collaborator" named Su Li and a murderer were still forcibly trying to transform Dafa practitioners. Over ten of them surrounded Dafa practitioner Wang Yanqui. They beat her and stuffed her mouth with a toilet brush, dragged her by her hair and took turns slapping her face viciously. Wang Yanqui's body, including her face and eyes, were covered with black bruises. She only recovered after two months. The guards strictly control the time allowed for practitioners to use the restroom, washroom and bathroom. They frequently beat and mocked Ms. Wang. There were no exceptions for practitioners Yang Yumei and Wang Yusi with serious heart diseases. Their bodies were frequently beaten until they were black and blue with bruises and had scratch marks on their necks. Practitioners were doused with cold water in the winter, forced to take off their clothes, and kicked and beaten all the time.

When confronted with all of these unbearably cruel facts, the prison guards said, "How come they did not force-feed you with spicy cayenne water?" Then they discussed with the prisoner-leaders how to better persecute Falun Gong practitioners.

Since the beginning of November, Liaoning Province's Women's Prison has prohibited families from visiting Falun Gong practitioners. The prison warden claimed that stopping the visits was for the purpose of preventing the spread of the bird flu.
