Darkness Lurks in the Zhejiang Province Women's Prison
2006-11-20I myself have lived through the brutal terror inside the special "classroom." There was a varying number of "guards" who were selected from the most hard core criminals. I suffered through several savage beatings at their hands. Sometimes all five beat me at the same time and I started to bleed from the head. Since I would not betray or criticise Falun Gong, several of them grabbed my hands and pounded them against the table, causing my hands to bleed and swell up. They also cursed us and verbally abused us. They sometimes did not allow me to drink water for two days at a time, or they gave me only a very small amount of water. I suffered terribly, being so thirsty. -
