• The Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at Longyan Prison in Fujian Province

  2007-11-20
  When a practitioner arrives at the prison, guards assign several inmates to closely monitor him. They force the practitioner to report to them and ask for permission for everything they wish to do. They follow the practitioner everywhere, even into the toilet. The guards try to "transform" practitioners and force them to watch materials that slander and defame Falun Dafa. They force practitioners to stand from morning to evening, run for a long time, expose them to the baking sun, or make them stay in a fixed position for a long time. Former Professor Lin Chenglai from Jimei University resisted the inhuman treatment. Therefore, guards ordered inmates to hold him to the ground and beat him. The Political Commissar of the prison said, "This is not called beating. This is called 'education.' Do you understand?"
