(Clearwisdom.net) The Harbin Women's Prison of Heilongjiang Province brutally tortures Falun Dafa practitioners. The prison transfers the practitioners who steadfastly resist the persecution to the 11th and 12th wards, which are referred to as "the wards for attacking determined practitioners" by the guards. The 11th ward is on the fourth floor of the newly-built cafeteria building; the 12th ward is on the fourth floor of the hospital building. The 11th and 12th wards are sealed off from the outside and inmates are not allowed to talk to each other while there.
The guards have selected many notorious criminal inmates to monitor practitioners. Practitioners are also not allowed to make purchases in the prison store; their money are in possession of the monitors. If practitioners do not cooperate they are brutally beaten and verbally abused. The guards do not directly communicate with practitioners, they communicate through the criminal inmates. If the monitors are not monitoring the practitioners, their merit scores are reduced. The inmates therefore beat or abuse practitioners regularly to show that they are "on the job."
The guards prohibit practitioners from sleeping day and night and assign several inmates to watch each practitioner, and then abuse other practitioners in turn. Practitioners are not allowed to talk or sit down on a bed. If the practitioners sit down with their eyes closed, they are beaten. Practitioners are made to sit on a small stool in front of monitors from morning to night.
The guards specifically transfer the practitioners with long prison terms to the 11th and 12th wards. There, the practitioners' lives are threatened every day.
In October 2006, practitioner Ms. Sun Fengjie from Shuangyashan City was transferred to the 2nd ward. One prison cell held 12 inmates, two of whom were practitioners.
Ms. Wang Hongzhou, a practitioner from Hailin City, Heilongjiang Province, was in good health on the day before she was transfered. On the day after the transfer, she began vomiting blood and appeared disoriented. She could not talk when she met other people and was sent to the emergency room for treatment.
Ms. Qin Shuzhen, a practitioner from Shuangyashan City, is detained in the 11th ward and is subjected to mistreatment. We appeal to her family members to rescue her and demand her release with righteous thoughts.
After reading this news, we ask all practitioners to please send forth righteous thoughts to strengthen detained fellow practitioners, completely disintegrate the evil environment and situation in Harbin Women's Prison, eliminate all the evil elements that persecute Falun Dafa practitioners, and stop the guards from continuing their wicked acts.
