(Clearwisdom.net) Authorities of the Heilongjiang Women's Prison have set up a so-called transformation base. The guards manipulate inmates to forcibly “transform” Falun Gong practitioners. Eight or nine inmates besiege one practitioner and coerce her to “transform” by using all kinds of techniques such as deprivation of rest and sleep, shouting insults, corporal punishment, mental mistreatment, and various other abuses. Inmates take turns sleeping, while practitioners are not allowed to close their eyes for days at a time. Inmates even put unknown medicine in practitioners' food.
The guards incited Jiang Yajing, Li Xue, Ma Jingping and Li Jingwei, inmates in the First Ward, to beat, insult and denounce practitioners Ms. Zhang Shuling and Ms. Zhang Liping. At about 3:00 p.m. on January 12, 2007, inmate Li Xue kicked Zhang Liping. Zhang Shuling tried to stop her, but Li Xue knocked Zhang Shuling onto the bed. Ma Jingping and Li Jingwei helped Li Xue to beat up Ms. Zhang Shuling. Ms. Zhang Liping urged Li Xue to stop, but Jiang Yajing handcuffed and then kicked her, and Li Jingwei also came over to beat her. As a result of the beatings, Ms. Zhang Shuling's face became swollen, and Ms. Zhang Liping's nose was bleeding, and her head, ears and legs were bruised.
On the afternoon of January 8, 2007, Jiang Yajing hit Zhang Liping's mouth with a book. The book was damaged and Zhang Liping's mouth was injured. Meanwhile, Li Jingwei and Ma Jingping choked Zhang Liping's neck, and punched her mouth, which caused bleeding and injured her face and back.
One evening in December, 2006, Li Xue beat Zhang Liping about the face and eyes with a book. Zhang Liping's eyes were beaten until tears flowed and her nose was injured. Her neck was also twisted until it was black and blue.
Inmate Jiang Yajing also incited other inmates to beat practitioners, claiming that she had beaten and abusively criticized practitioners in 2005 and 2006 , but still got a good score. She declared that everything she did was under the instigation of the Chinese Communist Party, and that it was pointless to accuse her. She does not even have to work in the workshop. Guard Wang Shan is her direct leader. Jiang Yajing is the so-called "controlling inmate" appointed by the guards, and is extremely brutal. She constantly threatens and reprimands practitioners, and punishes them by forcing them to sit together like a chain (in this style of torture, one's chest is tightly against the back of the person in front of them. The eyes have to focus on the persons head in front of them, and the legs have to be spread apart) from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Li Xue said, "Beating you is like giving myself a massage. We are the violence team. I even beat guard He." Jiang Yajing said rampantly, "We are assisting the government to beat you." These inmates reprimand and punish practitioners whenever they feel like it.
On November 30, 2006, under the pretext of force-feeding, Jiang Yajing force-fed Ms. Zhang Liping with medicine and garlic. During the force-feeding Zhang Liping's mouth and teeth were forcibly pried open and were injured.
Jiang Yajing and Li Xue took the lead in searching practitioners' belongings. They grabbed Master Li's articles whenever they found them and handed them in to the guards for credits.
