(Clearwisdom.net) Weinan Prison in Shaanxi Province was a prison specifically for prisoners with heavy sentences. There were 16 districts in the prison. Most of the prisoners were sentenced to a postponed death penalty or lifetime imprisonment. In the last six years since the evil party and Jiang Zemin have persecuted Falun Gong, Weinan Prison has become an evil place in Shaanxi Province to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners.

In November 2005, as instigated by Luo Gan and Zeng Qinghong, the evil party members in Shaanxi Province aggravated the persecution of Dafa practitioners. Thirty Falun Dafa practitioners (including Mr. Duan Shibao), who were illegally detained in Fuping Prison of Shaanxi Province, and all Dafa practitioners who were illegally detained in Hanzhong Prison were transferred to and persecuted in Weinan Prison. There were Dafa practitioners in almost every district. Weinan Prison, a prison especially for heavily-sentenced prisoners, became a prison for male Dafa practitioners who were illegally sentenced in Shaanxi Province.

The transfer of practitioners to a centralized location is most likely part of the party's plan to confine practitioners to Sujiatun-type concentration camps. In addition, the strict control system in the prisons for heavily-sentenced prisoners made it easy to strictly block the information so that few people heard of the brutal persecution behind the high walls.
Dafa practitioners in Weinan prison suffered from even worse living conditions than those prisoners sentenced to lifetime imprisonment. They were deprived of any personal freedom, as well as the freedom to speak. In every district, most practitioners were locked in solitary cells for long periods of time. Two prisoners were designated as "personal cangues" (1) to supervise every practitioner.
Most Dafa practitioners who were illegally imprisoned refused to participate in the forced-labor, the flag-raising ceremony, the formation drill, or the so-called political studies. They refused to recite the prison regulations, and refused to be assigned in the "three-person-group" supervised by two cangues.
The prison persecuted practitioners who resisted the evil persecution more severely, and locked them in confinement cells where it is damp and gloomy. The practitioners had only two buns every day as their meals and had to sleep on the damp ground at night. If they didn't want to sleep on the wet floor they had to squat until they were too sleepy to hold on. Weinan prison created such a terrible environment of hunger, cold, darkness and solitude to torture Dafa practitioners long-term.
Mr. Han Xu is a Dafa practitioner who used to work in the foreign trade department in Gansu Province. He had mastered three foreign languages. He was imprisoned in the 11th district. Mr. Zhang Huipu, a Dafa practitioner from Xi'an University of Science and Technology (former Xi'an Mining Institute), was illegally sentenced to thirteen-years of imprisonment and was imprisoned in the eleventh district. Mr. Zhang Junmin was imprisoned in the first district. Mr. Yang Keqiang was imprisoned in the second district. All of them were persecuted in confinement cells for many days, some for as long as several months. Many practitioners who were locked in the confinement cells went on hunger strikes in the confinement cells to protest the persecution.
Those who followed the evil party's instructions in various degrees and who directed or participated in the persecution of Dafa practitioners include: Dong Lei, current deputy secretary of Shaanxi provincial party committee in charge of political and judiciary issues, Zhao Zhengyong, current Executive deputy governor, former political and judiciary secretary of Shaanxi provincial party committee, Song Hongwu, political and judiciary secretary of Shaanxi provincial party committee, Zhao Yingwu, director of judicial Department of Shaanxi Province, Liu Xiuzhen, party secretary of the Prison Administration Bureau in Shaanxi Province, Wang Zhixiong, warden of Weinan Prison, Huo Feng, assistant warden and Wang Shuguang, chief of the political section in Weinan Prision. They cannot escape responsibility for their crimes.
We appeal to all the kind-hearted people in the world to stop the brutal crimes of the Chinese Community Party (CCP) in persecuting Dafa practitioners and Chinese people, and its attempt to silence the witnesses by killing them.
