(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Ke Fanghua, 69, has been persecuted in Henan Provincial Women's Prison since 2010. The guards ordered criminal inmates to torture and beat her, fracturing her tailbone in two places. She now has difficulty moving around and is in constant pain.
Inmates Yan Xiuying and You Yumei have been brutally beaten Ms. Ke over a dozen times since July 2012. You Yumei and another inmate, Zuo Dianyu, also beat Ms. Ke, concentrating on her stomach and liver area. After each beating, it would take a couple months for Ms. Ke's pain and bruising to subside.
Emboldened by the guards, on February 4, 2013, You Yumei kicked the plastic stool on which Ms. Ke was sitting. Ms. Ke fell down and hit her head. She went into shock. She had a huge bump on her head and fractured two sections of her tailbone.
After the incident, guards and doctors kept Ms. Ke in the dark about her injuries. The doctors refused to give her medication and didn't treat her injuries. Two sections of Ms. Ke's tailbone are now dislocated and overlap.
Ms. Ke, who is from Shangcheng County in the Xinyang Region of Henan Province, was sentenced to four and a half years in prison in January 2010 for practicing Falun Gong.
