(Clearwisdom.net) Since 2000, the authorities in Yinchuan Prison in Ningxia Autonomous Region have persecuted a large number of practitioners. Practitioners Sun Lei from Shizuishan City and Chen Xueying from Yinchuan City are still there after being illegally sentenced for 11 and 8 years respectively.
From 2001 to 2002, the practitioners sentenced in Ningxia were detained in the Hedong Ward in Yinchuan Prison, also known as the Yinfeng Brick Plant.
The Ningxia Judicial Department and Ningxia Prison Management Bureau, controlled by the 610 Office of Ningxia, designated the guards and criminal inmates to persecute the practitioners. Some of the brutal methods used to torture the practitioners include being hung up, being tied up with rope, electric shock, forced bowing, "pushing the wall," detention in a solitary cell, being forced to watch videos defaming Falun Dafa, being made to write so-called "mind status reports," not allowing family members to visit, and working over ten hours non-stop without pay. The guards also designate criminal inmates to beat the practitioners.
This brutal treatment has not shaken practitioners' steadfast righteous thoughts. Instead, many guards and criminals have witnessed the miracles of Falun Dafa. They have gradually learned the truth and do not wish to participate in the persecution. Some of them became good friends with practitioners in private, and some criminal inmates have even started to openly practice Falun Dafa. This has made the prison administration authorities nervous and angry. They have tried their best to hide the truth and have kept persecuting the practitioners. The have tried beatings, detaining practitioners in small, solitary cells for long periods, forbidding family visits; threatening family members, and refusing to allow health exams.
Due to relentless brainwashing by the Chinese Communist regime and its insistent defamation of Falun Dafa, some guards have lost their sense of right and wrong. The chief of the education section of the prison said, "People would rather steal or rob than practice Falun Dafa!"
The practitioners and their families face tremendous mental pressure, yet they persist in their belief.
