Dafa Practitioners in China

June 26, 2001

[Minghui Net] The Wanjia Labor Camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province sent over 50 female Dafa practitioners who refused to write a statement denouncing Falun Dafa to different male prisoners' teams. The female practitioners were put into groups, 7 or 8 per group. Male guards and male prisoners watched them 24 hours each day. Some male guards frequently insulted the female practitioners with filthy words. The labor camp did not allow them to bring anything in and forced them to stand on the cement floor in thin clothes for as long as eight or nine days. During the daytime, they were only allowed to use the toilet three times and were forbidden to use the toilet at all for over 10 hours at night. The guards deprived Dafa practitioners of sleep and handcuffed them behind their backs to the front of beds, making them stand day and night. During those eight to nine days, the labor camp did not let them brush their teeth, change clothes or take a shower. For meals, they were given hard cakes made of animal fodder and radish soup. The guards and prisoners often beat them badly, leaving them with bloody noses, swollen faces and bruises everywhere on their bodies. Because of such a long period of psychological and physical abuse, some of them passed out and were sent to the hospital in a comatose state.

In team 8, the guards and prisoners hung up six female practitioners and beat them with sticks. Song Yusu was dunked into water and then pulled out. Wu Shulian was drenched and then shocked with electric batons. Cao Liandi was hung up, and she passed out. The other three who were hung up and beaten were Xie Jinxian, Wu Xinru, and X Shurong.
