Description:

In January 2000, because Ms. Mu Xiangjie refused to give up Falun Gong, she was forced to stand outside in the snow for three days and nights in the Tianjin City Women’s Labor Camp. She was only given one steamed bun each day. After three days, her hands and feet were frozen and swollen, and then became festered so badly that she could not walk for one month. Also, Ms. Mu was handcuffed for a long period, and the handcuffs cut into her flesh and caused her hands to bleed heavily. She was then hung up and later sent to a solitary cell at night. Once, while Ms. Mu was in the solitary cell, guards strapped her arms to the window and she was not allowed to sleep for seven days and nights. They also beat her arms with electric batons. After her release from the cell, Ms. Mu could not move her legs, and there were blood blisters covering her arms.
