• Persecution of Practitioners in Fanjiatai Prison, Shayang City, Hubei Province

  2007-09-20
  In the cells, the perpetrators force practitioners to sit in front of their beds. They cannot talk with other practitioners, and during closed periods, they cannot make phone calls to or visit with their families. They are especially prohibited from seeing family members who are also practitioners. Even packages sent by the practitioners' families are returned with all kinds of excuses. The guards prohibit them from having a mosquito net in the hot summer when the cells are full of mosquitoes. Worst of all, if practitioners sit on their bed or bench and close their eyes to take a break at noontime, the guards order the criminal inmates to turn on the television and adjust the volume to maximum, make loud noises with stringed instruments, madly knock on the benches, etc. The noise fills the whole cell, keeping practitioners from resting, disturbing them mentally and hurting them physically.
