Practitioner Ms. Jiang Jie in Fushun, Liaoning Province Tortured to Mental Collapse

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Jiang Jie, a resident of Fushun City, Liaoning Province, began to practise Falun Gong in 1996. On September 8th, 2006, less than one month after Ms. Jiang's husband's death, policemen from the First Department of the Fushun City Police took Ms. Jiang to the Luotaishanzhuang Brainwashing Class in Fushun City. Without any of her family members at home or a search warrant, Ms. Jiang's computer, speakers, a printer, and Dafa books were taken from her house; the value was around 4,000 yuan¹ in total.

On the second day of brainwashing class, the head of the Fushun City CCP (Chinese Communist Party) Political and Judiciary Committee talked to Ms. Jiang and tried to force her to give up practising Falun Dafa. Ms. Jiang refused to give in. On September 28, 2006, Ms. Jiang was taken to the Masanjia Women's Forced Labour Camp in Shenyang City.

Knowing she did not belong there, Ms. Jiang looked for a chance to escape every day. Nearly every time she tried to escape, she was handcuffed afterwards. The longest period that she was handcuffed lasted five days. Starting January 12, 2007, Ms. Jiang went on a hunger strike to protest the unlawful persecution.

Ms. Jiang was on the hunger strike for five days. At first, the guards tried to persuade Ms. Jiang to eat. After January 17, 2007, they began to torture her with force-feeding. First, the vicious guards used steel pincers to force open her mouth, and then they pinched her nose with their hands. After that, they force-fed food into her mouth. They did it this way twice a day.

At around 11:00 a.m. on January 19, 2007, Jiang Jie suddenly felt severe abdominal cramps on her right side. Later she was diagnosed with a stomach perforation. On January 24, 2007, she was sent home.

Due to the torture at the camp, Ms. Jiang suffered a mental collapse and has not yet recovered.
