Guards and Inmates at Hebei Province Women's Prison Beat Ms. Liu Shuying Brutally

Ms. Liu Shuying, a Falun Dafa practitioner detained in Hebei Province Women's Prison, was taken to the brainwashing centre in the prison by guards of the Eighth Ward on August 12th, 2007. She was tortured there. The guards involved in this case are as follows:

Bi Chunmei (female, the head of the ward)
Instructor Sun Zhijun (male)
Liu Qiaoyan (female)
Zhang Yi (gender unknown, the head of the prison)
Yu Fuqi (male, deputy head of the prison),
Han (first name unknown, male)
Ge Shuguang (male guard in charge of persecuting Falun Gong)
Du Lijing (female)

The guards also instigated collaborator¹ Lan Qizhi (female), She Qiaoling (female), Ni Chunxiang (female), and Tang Hui (female) to threaten, verbally abuse, intimidate, and beat Ms. Liu. Every 24 hours, Ms. Liu is only allowed to sleep one to two hours.

They frequently reported to the guards with negative comments about Ms. Liu, so she was treated even worse. The head of the Eighth Ward, Bi Chunmei, directed prisoner Li Fengqin (assigned to monitor Ms. Liu) by telling her, "Whatever methods you can use, you should "transform²" Ms. Liu Shuying immediately. Otherwise, you are not allowed to come back to the ward. You will be locked up with Ms. Liu."

Inmate, Li Fengqin kicked and beat Ms. Liu over a hundred times. Ms. Liu was kicked so severely that there were wounds over her entire body. Some of the wounds took days to heal. This prisoner kicked and beat Ms. Liu and slandered Falun Gong and cursed its founder to try and intimidate her. Ms. Liu talked to Han, the deputy head of the prison, about what was going on, but he did not pay any attention to her. After being tortured for over 70 days, Ms. Liu became so mentally disoriented that she gave in to the brainwashing. However, when she got back to the ward, Ms. Liu immediately wrote a statement firmly denying her "transformation" under pressure.

At present, there are still over 20 practitioners from the Zhangjiakou City area being held in Hebei Province Women's Prison. Eight practitioners are being held in the New Inmate Ward.
