Ms. Wang Fang Tortured to Death by Harbin Women's Prison

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Fang was a survivor of the "Wanjia Tragedy," and was inhumanly tortured again in the Harbin Women's Prison. She died on September 24, 2004.

Ms. Wang Fang was forty years old, and a tailor who lived in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province. She went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Dafa and was arrested, because she clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to people. She was detained and sentenced to two years in a labour camp, because brainwashing sessions failed to "reform" her. She was sent to the Wanjia Labour Camp in Harbin City, and endured all types of cruel torture. She was also one of the survivors of the "Wanjia Tragedy" in 2001 and still had a rope scar on her neck.

Ms. Wang Fang continued studying the teachings and doing the exercises in the labour camp, and was oftenlocked in the small cell (1). She was sent to her mother's home in Mudanjiang City after her two-year term ended. She started clarifying the truth soon after she recovered from her injuries, and was arrested again.

On June 14, 2002, Ms. Wang Fang was sent to the Hailin City Detention Centre. Once after she clarified the truth to people, she was brutally beaten by Director Shan Chengqiang (male) and handcuffed afterwards.

Another time Director Shan Chengqiang found Ms. Wang doing the exercises in her cell and started torturing her. He took her to the yard and poured cold water on her from head to toes, while beating her. Ms. Wang Fang shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" As a result, she was put in handcuffs and ankle shackles. Shan Chengqiang whipped the bottoms of her feet with a plastic tube, which made her roll on the floor in pain. She was disfigured beyond recognition when she returned to her cell. She was bloodied so badly that her fellow practitioners had to tear loose the clothing from her body.

On September 8, 2004, Ms. Wang Fang was sent to the Harbin Women's Prison. Policeman Jiang Yuntao and others from the Hailin Station State Security Office arrested her in Mudanjiang City. Ms. Wang endured all kinds of inhuman tortures. Police had to release her, because she was only skin and bones. She died at home on the morning of September 24, 2004, at 3 a.m., less than two months after she was released.

(1)The detainee is locked up individually in a very small cell. The guards handcuff practitioners behind their backs in a fixed position, in which the practitioners can neither move nor lie down. The small cell is very damp without any sunshine. Detainees have to urinate and defecate in the cell. Only half of a regular meal is served to detainees locked in a small cell during the daytime. During the night the rats run freely in and out of the cells. The stench in the small cell is so bad that it is difficult to breathe.
