(Clearwisdom.net) 1. [Heilongjiang Province] Steadfast Falun Dafa Practitioners at the Tailai
Prison Are Brutally Tortured At the Tailai Prison in Heilongjiang Province, steadfast Falun Dafa
practitioners have been brutally tortured. They were not only beaten,
handcuffed, and shackled, but also were hung by their chest or stomach, with the
legs, arms, head, and neck dangling downwards. This position is very painful and
results in numbness of different body parts, including the legs, arms, and neck.
Some who suffered this torture lost consciousness. It is a cruel and painful
torture. Besides the torture, Dafa practitioners were forced to perform slave
labor for 13 hours each day. If they failed to fulfill their quota they would be
handcuffed and shackled. Prison Inspection Department of the Harbin Procuratorate: 86-451-53636509 2. [Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Ms. Xu

to Labor Camps in the Tianjin Area Is Increasing I am a Falun Dafa practitioner who has just been released from the Tianjin

Falun Dafa practitioners are detained there. This number also includes those who
were detained at the Jianxin Women's Forced Labor Camp. In November 2003 the Tianjin Women's Forced Labor Camp established an
administrative division, which is actually called a roughneck team, specializing
in persecuting steadfast Falun Gong practitioners. Since the establishment of
this division, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Ruiqin and another female
practitioner have always kept righteous thoughts and righteous actions,
therefore no corporal punishment nor sweet words can move their hearts. At present the number of female Falun practitioners who are sentenced to
forced labor is on the increase. Most of them were arrested quietly and in
secret, and then sentenced. 8. [Tianjin Municipality] Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Li Suyun Is Abducted on
