What I had seen in Wuhan women's prison

Anonymous submission to Chinese secretchina website from China:

I have been held In Women’s Prison in Wuhan, Hubei Province.

There are six sections detaining over 100 Falun Gong practitioners. Task forces are made up of other prisoners specially designed to cruelly persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Jian Chun, deputy political commissioner was rapidly promoted because he was the cruelest.

There are ‘water cells’, ‘death-beds’, sealed rooms and tiny cells, just a few square meters. Falun Gong practitioners were shackled upside down in there, forced to defecate and urinate in their own pants. It was a very harsh environment; there are a lot of rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies.

Falun Gong practitioners who were held inside and do not ‘transform’ are not allowed to sleep for a long-time; even if they are allowed to sleep it is only for two hours. They can sleep at 4 o'clock but made to get up at 6 o'clock. They were punished to stand in temperatures of 90 degrees with their head against the wall, they were not allowing to rest even when they were on a hunger strike. I have never had high blood pressure, but my heart and blood pressure was abnormal in there.

One torture method used to transform you is they take you to an unoccupied room, hang you up and beat you. If you shout, the torturer will put smelly socks into your mouth. I often seen Falun Gong practitioners shouted 'Falun Dafa is good, truthfulness, benevolence, forbearance is good', then the guards ordered prisoners to kick and beat them. There is a Falun Gong practitioner who is a teacher; she was persecuted to incontinence and dementia.

There is also a number of Falun Gong practitioners who were persecuted to paralysis, they use the electric shock baton. One Falun Gong practitioner called Liu Lan, was on hunger strike for six months, at the end, she could no longer bear it and was forced into transformation by the cruel persecution. Prison guards have told the prisoners, as long as Falun Gong comes to the Women's Prison, she will be forced to ‘transform’. They use vehicle wheel tactic, five to six persons sandwich one Falun Gong practitioner, and they crush her to the death.

One section is specifically for transforming and brainwashing Falun Gong practitioners; it has detained more then ten Falun Gong practitioners. One of its methods of transformation is by showing defamation videos. Prison guards spend half of every day trying to brainwash Falun Gong practitioners, torturing them not just physically but also mentally.

According to a Secret China reporter: Jiangchun is a 33 year old policewoman who had about 10 years experience in the Chinese police service. She has gained extensive praise by the national communist youth committee on her ‘hard work’ on transforming Falun gong practitioners in China.
