The Liaoning Province Women's Prison's Methods of Persecution and Abuse of Falun Dafa Practitioners
2006-02-07Brainwashing took the form of forced watching of videos and reading of books that slander Dafa. Such activities were followed by forced written critique reports that must include words attacking Falun Gong. Since the inmates and guards all had an interest in seeing Dafa practitioners complying with their demands, they used any kind of method, even torture, to get the practitioners to comply. One of these tortures meant the practitioner had to stand from 6:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. except for meals. This was done for several days in a row, leading to severe swelling of the legs. A further punishment was a practitioner would have to spend time standing in a water dungeon or the toilet in freezing weather during the evening.
