(Minghui.org) There are 41 Falun Gong practitioners, between the ages of 37 and 73, imprisoned in Hulan Prison in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. Their sentences range from three to 17 years.

Hulan Prison is notorious for its brutal treatment of practitioners since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting the cultivation practice in 1999.

The prison has denied mistreating any practitioners.
