Severe Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Guangyuan Jail

It was reported that under the order of the Sichuan Provincial Labour Camp Bureau, Guangyuan Jail launched a brutal persecution of steadfast Dafa practitioners.

On May 11, 2005, at the third district of the second brigade, prison guards beat Dafa practitioners Mr. Min Chengjun, Mr. Zhang Rui, and Mr. Bai and forced them to wear prison uniforms and do long hours of heavy physical labour.

On May 9, 2005, Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhu Wenhui from Panzhihua was imprisoned in the third squadron of the second brigade. On May 10, several Dafa practitioners, including a well-respected former policeman Xu Langzhou from Panzhihua, were locked up in the fifth squadron of the second brigade. On May 12, the prison guards forced practitioners to wear prison uniforms. On May 13, they forced them to do heavy labour.

Dafa practitioner Mr. Xu Weidong did not obey the prison guard's orders, so he was hung up by handcuffs by prison guard Wang Bin and was left in the pouring rain for two hours. Later, the chief of the fifth squadron Chen Liang and prison guards stripped off his clothes, leaving him in only his underwear. They then handcuffed him to an iron gate and forcefully put a prison uniform on him. Later Mr. Xu was dragged to the playground by criminal inmates.

Although practitioner Mr. Wei Yi from Xichang city was 63 years old, he was still forced to sift sand under the scorching sun. At the third squadron, Mr. Min Qinjun's buttocks were injured from being beaten by a prison guard. The deputy chief at the Control and Education Section of the second brigade He Zhong interrogated Mr. Cao Jiguang and tried to brainwash him.

On April 12, practitioner Min Chengjun was severely beaten by a prison guard, and Mr. Lin Jun was beaten by a prison guard named Deng Peixin.

For each practitioner, the Guangyuan Jail appoints 2 or 3 prisoners to strictly monitor the practitioner in shifts around the clock. Dafa practitioners are not allowed to talk among themselves or to have any form of contact. Their daily behaviour is also recorded. The contents include what they eat, how much they eat, how long they use the toilet, how much time and how often they do everything, even including standing, sitting, lying down, and other detailed body movements. A record of all this is made every 2 to 3 hours. The authorities also fabricate study records in order to fill out the forms when the higher authorities come to inspect the jail.

Everyone in the first brigade in Guangyuan Jail is forced to shovel coal. The prison guards all use violence to force the detainees to do so. The small coal pit frequently has accidents, resulting in the deaths of multiple people involved.
