(Minghui.org) More than 20 Falun Gong practitioners are still serving time at Shayang Prison in Hubei Province for refusing to renounce their spiritual faith. Some of them have been subjected to torture on a regular basis.

Mr. Zhan Xinzi has been imprisoned for seven years. Because he refused to wear a prison uniform or answer roll call, he was put in solitary confinement for five straight years.

Mr. Xia Mingliang was forced to stand for three days in a row without any sleep after he refused to write statements to denounce Falun Gong.

Mr. Li Wande, 65, sat down when he was exhausted from standing for long periods of time. The guard on duty led a group of inmates and showered him with kicks and punches.

Two practitioners, whose names remain to be investigated, were ordered to clean toilets every day. Several inmates stuffed their mouths with rags one day and gave them a savage beating.
