My Personal Experience in Dabei Prison
2005-11-28"I was sentenced to three years in prison and sent to the Dabei Prison in Liaoning Province. The prison guards did not allow me to go to the toilet; many times I soiled my trousers. In the winter, they forced me to sit on the cement floor and tied me up with ropes every day. Whenever I cried out, male prisoners would beat me fiercely. They forced my mouth open and stuffed it with rags or with my own socks, which they had taken off my feet. Then they used bandages to gag me. They also pulled my hair to the point that much of it came out. Every day I was forced to endure hardships like these." -

Gao was clear-headed and able to sit up, but completely emaciated. Seven or eight guards in civilian clothes took turns watching Gao and prohibited her from talking. The guards would not provide her with food. She longed to see her aged father. Whenever the guards came in, she closed her eyes.
