Thirty-one Practitioners Detained in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region No. 5 Prison

Since July 1999, all male Falun Gong practitioners with prison sentences have been detained in the Region No. 5 Prison. Currently there are 31 practitioners still imprisoned there.

Guards have tried to brainwash practitioners by limiting their personal freedom, depriving them of sleep, forcing them to stand for a long time, closely monitoring them, and force-feeding them. The prison's 610 Office¹ head, Zhang Yongjun, has actively participated in the persecution and has received awards from the regional 610 Office multiple times. A partial list of guards doing the brainwashing includes Guo Junhong, Dong Feng, Shi Qian, Li Weijun, Meng Yong, Sun Chaohua, Ye Jianping, Li Hailong, Zhou Zhiwei, Guan Hongwei, Sun Ying, Aikebair, Adili, Ding Haizhong, Xiao Jie, Yang Tao, and Chen Xiaolin.

Note

1. "The 610 office" is 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.
