(Minghui.org) A Dengta City, Liaoning Province, resident has been denied family visits and subjected to various forms of abuse since she was admitted to the Liaoning Province Second Women’s Prison in April 2023 to serve an unknown term.
Ms. Sui Boqin, around 57, was arrested on September 18, 2021, for practicing Falun Gong, a mind-body practice that has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party since July 1999. She spent one and a half years in the Liaoyang City Detention Center before her prison transfer. The details of her indictment, trial, and sentencing are being investigated.
This was not the first time Ms. Sui was sentenced for practicing Falun Gong. She was previously arrested on May 11, 2016, by six officers from the Dengta City Domestic Security Office, including Li Chenglin. They raided her home and confiscated her computer, printer and Falun Gong books, before taking her to the Liaoyang City Detention Center. Judge Huang Yuefa of the Dengta City Court sentenced her to prison (with an unknown term) on November 22, 2016.
Tortured by Convicted Fraudster
Ms. Sui was assigned to a cell headed by Luan Ling, a felon convicted for fraud and given free rein by the guards to torture Falun Gong practitioners without facing any consequences.
Not long after Ms. Sui was admitted to prison in April 2023, Luan punched her on the head, leaving her bruised everywhere on her face. Luan also kicked her lower body, causing severe swelling and bruises. On another occasion, Luan hit her on the head with a shoe brush. She bled profusely, staining her clothes.
Luan dragged Ms. Sui’s comforter to the restroom and had it soak the dirty water on the floor. She next poured cold water on the comforter before moving it back to the cell. She snatched Ms. Sui’s warm clothes and threw them away. Ms. Sui had no other way but to sleep under the cold and wet comforter at night.
When Ms. Sui protested against the violence and abuse, Luan said she was doing what the government ordered her to do. She once hit another practitioner on the head with a basin and whipped a third practitioner with a clothes hanger.
Only Allowed One Meal Every Day
The guards forced Ms. Sui to do hard labor during the day. While inmates were offered breakfast and lunch at the workshop, Ms. Sui was not allowed to fetch food from the cafeteria and she could only eat dinner after she returned to her cell. She was soon reduced to just skin and bones.
Forced to Stand for 12+ Hours Every Day
The guards allowed other inmates to sit and do their assigned tasks in the workshop, but Ms. Sui had to stand for ten-plus hours during the day and finish her work quota. After she returned to her cell at night, she must stand for two or three more hours as punishment for refusing to renounce Falun Gong.
Her legs and feet have become extremely swollen as a result of her long-term standing.
Barred from Having Daily Necessities or Washing Herself
The guards provided no daily necessities to Ms. Sui and also prohibited others from sharing items with her. She was not allowed to purchase necessities either. She had to pick up crumbled tissues or toilet papers from trash cans to wipe herself when she needed to use the restroom.
Ms. Sui has also been barred from washing herself since her prison admission. The smell she gave off became sickening after several months and her cellmates even struggled to eat with her around.
