(Minghui.org) The guards in Dongling Prison in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, ordered criminal inmates to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. The intent is to force practitioners to renounce their belief.

The inmates have shocked practitioners with electric batons, punched them, slapped their faces with shoe soles, and verbally abused them.

About seven inmates were ordered to closely monitor Mr. Wang Shusheng, who is in his 60s. Although he experienced heart problems at the prison, they deprived him of sleep for days and squeezed his fingers with a pair of pliers. They used all kinds of methods to keep him awake. While Mr. Wang was being tortured, the inmates were allowed to smoke and drink in the cell.

Mr. Liang Yonghe, in his 70s, was repeatedly slapped in the face, while Mr. Shi, in his 60s, was forced to drink urine.

The criminal inmates often heard shouting, “You will not leave this room alive if you don't sign [a document promising to stop practicing Falun Gong].”

Sometimes the guards are in the next room giving orders to the inmates. The warden is also involved, as he is aware of what the inmates are doing. He often visits the cells of the practitioners being tortured.
