(Clearwisdom.net) Currently there are over 30 Dafa practitioners detained in Daqing City Prison, Heilongjiang Province. Every day the prison police instigate the criminal prisoners to torture the Dafa practitioners and to restrict Dafa practitioners' moving around in the prison. They assign several criminal prisoners to follow and monitor each Dafa practitioner. The prison police even prohibit Dafa practitioners from going downstairs to get their meals. Instead they assign the criminal prisoners to take meals to the Dafa practitioners. The prison police are afraid that the criminals may be moved by the Dafa practitioners' benevolent conduct, so they frequently assign different prisoners to follow and monitor the practitioners. The police force those prisoners who do not know the truth about Dafa to torture practitioners. The police deprive Dafa practitioners of their sleep for long periods of time, force them to listen to materials that defame Dafa, and torment them physically and mentally. They try to force the practitioners to give up their belief in the principle of Falun Dafa "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Tolerance." Scared of being exposed for their vicious crimes, the prison police forbid the firm Dafa practitioners from seeing their families. They try to destroy the practitioners' determination by means of mental torture in a totally isolated environment.

Dafa practitioner Li Hai of Ranghulu District, Daqing City was illegally abducted on April 18, 2002 for his firm belief in Dafa and for his clarifying the truth to the people. The same year on November 15, he was secretly sentenced with an illegal procedure to 12 years of imprisonment by Honggang District Court of Daqing City. He was then sent to Daqing City prison at the beginning of December, 2002. (From the time when he was abducted, sentenced, and till he was imprisoned, his family did not receive any notice whatsoever.)

More than a year has gone by since Li Hai was abducted; his family did not see him once. His family and friends tried their best by using all means to see him, but every time they were ruthlessly rejected. The only reason for the rejection was that Li Hai refused to give up his belief, and refused to write the "five statements."^*

In the October of this year, 2003, the prison again deprived Dafa practitioners of their sleep, trying to force them to give up their belief. Li Hai's wife went to the prison and wanted to see him but the head of the 2nd prison Zhu Renshan told Li Hai's wife, "I heard that you also practice Falun Gong, if you say now that Falun Gong is not good, I will let you see him right away." He then said, "It is not me who does not let you see him, it is the order from 'above' that says 'No transformation, no visits'." The head of the team in which Li Hai is detained said, "It is no use even if you go to the 'above' and talk to them. If he refuses to write the 'five statements', you will not be able to see him for 12 years."

The end of this year is soon approaching and Li Hai's family went to the prison again. This time they went directly to the assistant head of the prison Wang Yingjie whose main responsibility is to persecute Falun Gong. When the family members asked to see Li Hai, Wang Yingjie said, "As long as he is not transformed, you will not see him."

Brief information about Mr. Li Hai:

Mr. Li Hai was a teacher of the 64^th middle school of Daqing City and he was expelled from his job at the end of 2000 because of the persecution. Before he started to practice Falun Gong, he had rheumatism, hepatitis B, and serious neurosis, and he had to rely on medication everyday. Since the spring of 1996 he started to cultivate in Falun Dafa and all the illnesses disappeared and his moral character kept elevating. Because he persisted in his belief and spoke of the truth, he was illegally persecuted many times. He had to leave home and became homeless to avoid further persecution since May of 2001. He was arrested in April of 2002. Without evidence, the police accused him of making equipments for the switch of a TV system to broadcast things, and fabricated other false accusations against him and illegally sentenced him to 12 years of imprisonment. He has been illegally imprisoned in Daqing City prison since then.
