This March, the prison established an "education-and-transformation" team, which was in reality a brainwashing class where Falun Gong practitioners were monitored by prisoners following orders from the guards. It was very common for the prisoners to beat the practitioners in the class. What's even worse was that the prison guards shocked practitioners with electric batons at will and escalated their efforts to persecute them.
This June, a report was posted on Clearwisdom.net, which exposed the severe persecution Mo Xiaoyan experienced while she was illegally detained in the Seventh Squad of the Hunan Women's Prison.
Policewoman Han Lihua dutifully persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. She openly ordered the prisoners to "beat Mo Xiaoyan if she is not obedient." Therefore, Zen Wenmin, Wu E and other prisoners often beat and assaulted her. They did not give her food, and even grabbed her head and hit it against the wall. Once, several prisoners forced Mo Xiaoyan to stand in place for a long time, who then opposed their unreasonable demand by doing the sitting meditation. Han Lihua kicked her legs severely for twenty minutes, by which time both of Mo's legs became numb. At the same time, Han brutally hit her face and body. Mo wasn't disturbed by this and kept meditating. Han became flustered, so she used a rope tie Mo's legs, handcuffing her hands behind her back and making her unable to move at all. That was really painful. Mo was in this condition for two days, but she did not give in and shouted "Falun Dafa is good." Policewoman Han violently grabbed her mouth, leaving three bloodstains on her face.
Zhao Lan, the Vice Director of the prison, personally insulted her with dirty language. She also ordered policewoman Dong Chen to force Mo to go to the Shashi City Psychiatric Hospital and take an 'examination'. Although the entire check-up showed she was normal, Zhao spread rumors that Mo had intermittent insanity.
Recently, another shocking piece of news was heard, claiming that Mo attempted to commit suicide by jumping from a building. The details of the incident are not available, and additionally, the prison carefully reported the news. We suspect there is some inside story behind the incident. We are waiting for a further investigation.
