(Clearwisdom.net) I would like to disclose what I know about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in Heilongjiang Women's Prison.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Sun Fenghua from Daqing City was arrested during 2002 and sentenced to 14 years of imprisonment. She was carried in by criminals. She was often subjected to cursing and torture from prisoners for practicing the exercises. Guards frequently instigated prisoners to handcuff and tie up practitioners.

The guards handcuffed Ms. Sun Fenghua to a heater pipe, because the Falun Gong prisoners practiced the exercises as a group. On the second day, they cuffed both hands together behind her back. One hand went over her shoulder and the other hand came from underneath. She fainted from the pain. After she woke up, they forced her to stand in an area as small as a brick. They did not allow her to move until 10:00 p.m. When she was returned to her cell, she could not walk, and she could not squat to use the toilet. The handcuffs cut deeply into her flesh. The guards also wouldn't let her clarify the facts about her persecution.

Harbin Falun Gong practitioner Yan Chunling shouted "Falun Dafa is good!" in a very loud voice everywhere she went. For this, the guards locked her up in isolation. They secretly beat her, and as a result her entire body was covered in bruises. They locked her up in a small confined place for almost two months. It was difficult for her to walk as a result of the torture.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Cheng Xiuhuan from Qiqihar City, was arrested along with another practitioner. The persecutors covered the other practitioner's head with a plastic bag until the practitioner suffocated to death! Ms. Cheng Xiuhuan also had a plastic bag put over her head and the evil people thought she would die. She woke up however, but had heart problems and extreme difficulty walking. She was often subjected to humiliation at the hands of the guards and prisoners in the jail. Once the guards forced her to walk out of the cell, when they knew she could not walk. If she did not walk out, all the prisoners would be punished. Out of consideration for the others, she struggled to walk out, but fell to the ground after several steps. It was very difficult for her to take even one step. All of the prisoners shed tears as she moved in front of the guards.

Wuhan City Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Li Xiaotong was arrested in Harbin City and sentenced to five years of imprisonment. Ms. Li became completely disabled from the torture and had to be cared for by others for six months. She was able to walk by then, but often fell. At Harbin City No. 1 Detention Center the guards abused her loudly. On one occasion, because she sent forth righteous thoughts with her hands up, the guards put handcuffs and foot shackles on her so tightly that they cut into her flesh. They kept her cuffed for four to five days, and she fell straight down when they were removed. Ms. Li was subjected to serious mental torment, causing prolonged coughing spells, including coughing up blood and running high fevers. Due to the persecution, Li Xiaotong has lost contact with her family. None from her family has visited her.

Mishan Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Ji Hongbo was about 47 or 48 years old. She was locked up in a small confined place for seven months. Her entire body was covered with scabies and she suffered extreme pain.

I remember that the following Falun Gong practitioners have also been detained at Heilongjiang Women's Prison: Sun Fengjie, Wang Meirong, Shao Ying, Shi Xiuying, Li Guihua, Hua Xiaojuan, Chang Xueju, Li Yuanyuan, Ba Lijiang, Gao Yuying, Wu Yulan, Zhang Baoying, Tie Junying, Wang Shulan, Bian Yaping, Zhang Shuzhi, Sun Shufen, Wang Lihua, Yang Shuxia, Ren Xiuying, Liu Guihua, Hu Aiyun, Li Yanfei, Xia Xiuwen, Zhu Fengying, Yuan Jing, Feng Guojun, Wang Yunping and many others.
