Over Forty Practitioners Hunger Strike in Jiamusi Prison -- Police Respond with Torture and Claim to Have a "Death Quota"
(Clearwisdom.net) More than 40 practitioners are being held in a prison in Jiamusi City,
Heilongjiang Province. They were all arrested last year when Jiang's government
ordered a large scale round up. To persecute these practitioners, the wardens
provide them with cattle feed made from wheat bran as the staple food, and a
thin soup. They forced the practitioners to sit on small benches daily and
didn't allow them to sleep until late at night. They forced the practitioners to
do slave-like labor, deprived them of the right to see relatives and humiliated
them by ordering them to recite the rules of the jail. To resist the persecution, the practitioners successively
started a hunger strike from August 16. Now all of them have participated in
this hunger strike. To suppress the resistance, the wardens instigated the
imprisoned inmates to torture the practitioners and some of the wardens
themselves also beat practitioners. They claimed that: "The superiors have
assigned us a death quota, so we can kill a certain number of you without
responsibility." The "death quota" is another piece of evidence for
the genocide crime of Jiang Zemin and his "610 office." Head of Jiamusi
