High School Student Suffers Mental Collapse from Torture at Heizuizi Women's Prison in Changcun City, Jilin Province

Heizuizi Women's Prison in Changcun City, Jilin Province has been persecuting practitioners for a long time. The following are some examples:

Practitioner Ms. Niu Ling, in her thirties, from NongAn County, Jilin Province, was arrested and taken to a detention centre on September 24th, 2007. Twenty days later, she was transferred to the Heizuizi Women's Prison in Changcun to serve a year-long sentence. She was put in Team 2, Division V. Because she persisted in her belief in Falun Gong, she was severely beaten and shocked several times with electric batons by Division V captain Wang Limei and female guards Liu Yinghui and Zhang Lihong. The guards also deprived her of her right to have visitors, and forced her to work for over 14 hours each day. She was released on February 10th, 2009, nearly five months after the term of her original sentence.

Ms. Wang Pingrui, a high school student in NongAn County, Jilin Province, was arrested by the police around June 2008 and taken to the Heizuizi Women's Prison, and placed in Team 4, Division V. Because she also persisted in her belief in Falun Gong, she was put in solitary confinement right after her admittance. The division captain, Wang Limei and female guard Xiao Aiqiu beat her many times, prevented her from using the toilet, and used electric batons to shock her on the centre of her foot soles, causing bruises and burns. The guards tied her to a bed and directed inmates Yu Xiuming, Zhu Liren, and Li Gongju to whip her and beat her on her head and body with bottles of water, causing her to become bruised all over. This college-bound, smart young girl has now suffered a mental collapse, and the guards still are denying family visits.

Practitioner Ms. Zhang Yuankun, 60, from Jilin Province was arrested and taken to Heizuizi Prison in 2009. Because she refused to write the "five pledging letters," she was put in solitary confinement in Team 2, Division V. She was brutally persecuted by Captain Wang Limei and guard Zhang Lihong. They shocked her face and body with electric batons for extended periods of time. She is still in solitary confinement and her life is in peril.

Ms. Liu Fang, in her forties, from Dehui City in Jilin Province, was taken to Team 2, Division V of Heizuizi Prison in March, 2008. Because she refused to cooperate with the officials there, she was shocked with electric batons at least three times and beaten at least twice by Captain Wang Limei and guard Zhang Lihong. She was sentenced to one-and-a-half years in prison.

We appeal to all people to extend their support to stop the persecution.
