(Clearwisdom.net) Since June 2005, Hunan Province Women's Prison has intensified its persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners. They have established brainwashing sessions specifically targeting those practitioners who refuse to write the so-called "repentance statements." Those who are carrying out the brainwashing sessions have assigned one practitioner to a room and appointed two criminals to monitor each practitioner 24 hours a day. Two prison guards are also assigned to each practitioner.
These practitioners are forced to do slave labor work every day. They have to peel broad beans for more than 10 hours every day, leaving them very little time to rest. When some practitioners resisted the slave labor, the prison guards used all kinds of methods to torture them. The practitioners experience intense mental persecution when they are brainwashed day and night.
At present, practitioner Ms. Zhou Pinjun from Changsha City, the daughter of Taiwan citizen Ms. Zhou Yuying, is being brutally tortured in the brainwashing sessions. The prison guards use slanderous tactics by saying that Ms. Zhou "is always very stubborn and infatuated." They declared that "in order to save her and educate her, the prison is now trying its best to help her." In order to brainwash and "transform" her, the prison guards also wrote a letter to Ms. Zhou's relatives that are not practitioners to persuade them to cooperate in the brainwashing. They also suggested that her relatives bring Zhou Pinjun's four-year-old child to visit her in prison, hoping to shake her righteous thoughts by using her family. When they spoke to Ms. Zhou's relatives, they also tried to extract personal and family information about her. Zhou Chang and the prison guards monitored her everyday
The slogan that Hunan Province Women's Prison uses to persecute practitioners is "the government has many kinds of ways to punish you." The "brainwashing team" is extremely evil in persecuting practitioners. They implement regulations to torture the practitioners' bodies and minds. For instance, they specified that the practitioners are not allowed to help each other in their day to day life and work; the criminals are to watch the practitioners at all times and restrain their every word and action; everything written by the practitioners, including the letters to their family, are to be checked. Whenever practitioners speak to each other, the guards and criminals are to immediately stop them. Even when practitioners are standing and sitting, a criminal will stand between them. When practitioners go to the restroom during the night, the criminals are also to follow them to the restroom.
During this round of persecution, the Hunan Province Women's Prison is using both persuasion and threats to run the brainwashing sessions. At the moment, practitioners in the prisons are enduring extreme pressure, and they really need all the support they can get from practitioners and righteous people from the outside world. The harm caused by spiritual devastation and humiliation are much more severe than the bodily pains inflicted on them.
The details of Ms. Zhou Pin's situation can be found in the article published on Clearwisdom website on April 29, 2004, "Taiwan Citizen's Daughter Zhou Pinjun Held without Trial for One Year, Then Sentenced to Seven Years in Prison."
