(Minghui.org) The Shaanxi Province Women’s Prison, also known as Xi’an Women’s Prison, keeps all newly admitted Falun Gong practitioners at its Entry Team for at least six months, sometimes up to a year, before assigning them to the regular wards. Anyone who refuses to renounce her faith will be tortured there.
The torture at the Entry Team includes both mental and physical means. The practitioners are first forced to watch videos and read books that slander Falun Gong, and then write their “thought reports.”
They are not given enough food or drink, sometimes receiving only one small steamed bun and a small glass of water a day. They are only allowed to go to the toilet two or three times a day.
Inmates ordered to monitor the practitioners beat, scold, and physically abuse them at will every day. Many practitioners are forced to stand still for a long time and their legs become swollen and stiff. Some were ordered to sit still on a small stool for prolonged periods of time, resulting in ulcerated sores on their bottoms.
Once, an elderly practitioner was beaten by several inmates for shouting “Falun Dafa is good.” One inmate sat on her to beat her until her face was covered with blood. For two months, this practitioner was forced to kneel on one knee for a long time. She was only allowed to sleep for two hours each day, from 2: 00 a.m to 4:00 a.m., and was given just one bun and one cup of water every day.
To humiliate the practitioners, the inmates instructed them to ask for permission before they could have meals, leave their cells, or go to the bathroom. If the practitioners did not comply, the inmates would slap practitioners in the face or hit them on the head, face, and hands with clothes hangers until the hangers were broken. Some hit the practitioners on the head with cups filled with water, stomped on them, and pulled their hair.
In addition to the physical torture, the guards also put toxic drugs into practitioners’ food. The drugs damage the central nervous system and have caused practitioners to become dazed and suffer memory loss.
The prison is located at 11 Fengchengnan Road, Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, 710016.Phone: 86+29-86246896, 86+29-86246900, 86-29-86246897, 86-29-86246945Inmates in the Entry Team assigned to torture practitioners: Gong Minhua, Lei Fei, Wu Zhen, Gao Qing, Chen Jingyuan, Liu Lihong, and Liang Miao
