Falun Dafa Practitioners Tortured in the Fifth Division of Jidong Prison in Hebei Province

1. Mr. Ge Huaiqiang is an expert radiologist. He has a PhD and lives on Chaoyang Street, Yunhe Area in Cangzhou City. Because he practices Falun Gong, he was illegally sentenced to four years in prison and detained in the Fifth Division of Jidong Prison. The guards once deprived him of sleep for five days and nights. If he closed his eyes, they would incite criminal inmates to push his head into water. When he was on the salt-shovel team, the guards forced him to carry bricks and do intense labor, even when his leg muscles were injured. He has appealed many times but no one has responded.

2. In August 2003, practitioner Mr. Sun Jianzhong was transferred to the Education (Brainwashing) Department of the Fifth Division. He has suffered various methods of torture including solitary confinement, sleep deprivation, starvation and being forced to run with criminals. He was not allowed to buy food with his savings or take showers in the summer, etc. His family was allowed to visit him only after repeated requests. In addition, before his family visit, Huang Liansheng and Li Enyuan from the Education Department spoke to them for half an hour using very vicious words. When Mr. Sun finally met with his family, several people including Huang Liansheng and Li Enyuan were there to monitor. If their conversation did not conform to requirements, they would immediately interrupt. Meanwhile, they also confiscated the food his family brought him. Shortly afterwards, Mr. Sun was transferred to the Chemical Industry First Team of the Fifth Division. He was forced to do intense labor there. The guard in charge is Ma Jianshan.

3. Practitioner Chen Aili was detained at the Fifth Division from January 2001 to January 2003. This was reported on January 11, 2004, on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website.
