Eight Years of Persecution for Falun Gong Practitioner Yang Hong and her Family from Huludao City, Liaoning Province
2007-10-21
Ms. Yang Hong used to be an employee of the construction company affiliated with the refinery in Huludao City. Officials at her workplace fired her eight years ago for her refusal to renounce her belief in Falun Gong. Over the past eight years, Ms. Yang was subjected to several arrests and incarceration. In Masanjia Forced Labour Camp she had to do 14 hours of heavy labour every day. Since Yang Hong refused to renounce Falun Gong and refused to memorise the labour camp rules, the criminals beat her ruthlessly. Her legs were often black and blue from being kicked. Criminals also punched her on her back, injuring it so severely that she could not bend over. Guards locked her to an iron column so that she could not fall asleep. -

The officials set up award programmes to encourage prison guards and criminal inmates--including convicted murderers, thieves and drug addicts--to "reform" practitioners using various methods of torture.
