2011-08-21Changchun Women’s Prison in Jilin Province set up a “Reform [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] Division” specifically to carry out brainwashing and inflict psychological and physical harm on practitioners. Between 300 and 400 practitioners are still incarcerated in the prison. One monitor named Pang Shuyan was extremely cruel. She called herself “Demon Pang” and once threatened one practitioner saying, “If you still refuse to reform, I’ll let you experience what it feels like when I step on your stomach with both of my feet and watch fluid shoot out of your nose and mouth.” Apparently she did that to other practitioners in the past. She also beat practitioners with a leather whip, pre-soaked in water. She even bragged about her brutality, “I’ve never gone easy on any practitioner I monitored. I’ll make you shudder just at the very sight of me!” -
