Two Women Unjustly Sentenced to Ten Years in Prison in Jilin Province

Ms. Liu Shuyun and Ms. Shi Xiuhong are practitioners from Yanbian Korean Ethnicity Autonomous Region, Jilin Province. After being illegally detained for two years, they were once again sentenced to ten years in prison. They are currently detained at Heizuizi Female Prison in Changchun City, Jilin Province.

Liu Shuyun and Shi Xiuhong were arrested in mid-November of 2001 by the security team from the political security division of Yanji City "610 Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems]. Incited by Xiao Bin from the security team, Jin Yongyi, Jin (the most notorious for cruelty), Huang and Piao employed the following methods to brutally torture the two women:

1. Handcuffed from behind: Handcuff both hands behind the victim's back and force them to kneel on the ground, with both feet placed over the horizontal bar of a chair. They continue torture until victims cannot move and eventually faint.
2. Forced them to do a certain dance movement, separate legs as much as possible and keep that position until they faint from the pain.
3. Prick their hand, body and legs with a needle.
4. Burn their wrists with cigarettes. The wounds left scars.
5. Hang them up with feet not touching the ground.

Before the sentence, these two practitioners had been detained many times, their houses ransacked and they had been in a forced labour camp for one year. There are many other practitioners who were also arrested along with Liu Shuyun.
