Jinan Female Labour Camp Enslaved and Forced Brainwashing on More Than Two Hundred Dafa Practitioners

After the police sent Dafa practitioners into the First Jinan Female Labour Camp, they were dispatched to different divisions. At first the police personally tried to brainwash Dafa practitioners. If it did not work, they found some collaborators [former Falun Gong practitioners who have stopped practising Falun Gong due to brainwashing and torture and now assist in the persecution] to help. They usually assigned two collaborators to deal with one practitioner; sometimes three or four to one. Moreover, in one instance, six persons persecuted one practitioner in turn for several days and nights. If the practitioner did not yield, she was not allowed to contact anybody. If she didn't write the Guarantee Statement [a statement to declare that he or she is remorseful for practicing Falun Gong and guarantees not to practice Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioners] she was not allowed to sleep before midnight. Some were persecuted till two or three o'clock in the morning, and they were awakened again around five o'clock. Some practitioners were persecuted so severely that they lost their clear thinking and wrote the guarantee statement under duress. They were forced to view videos and read books that slandered Dafa and thus caused them to crumble under intolerable pressure and renounce their belief.

Police officer Xu Ruiju to Beijing to attend a meeting where she learned to persecute practitioners. After returning, she brazenly swindled the practitioners. Officer Zheng Wenying slandered Teacher and Dafa. Falun practitioners were usually not allowed to chat freely. A class could not have any contact with another class. Recently the police installed a new monitoring system. The practitioners were usually forced to watch a TV report that slandered Falun Gong.

This First Female Labour Camp is still illegally detaining two to three hundred Dafa practitioners. All of them, no matter old or young, healthy or weak, were all required to work daily in three shifts in the workshop. They didn't stop until 10:00 p.m., sometimes extended to 11:00 p.m. or 12:00 p.m. In the morning, they were allowed only five minutes for toileting and washing. Around 9:00 a.m., all in each were in turn allowed to go to the toilet and also drink some water. Sometimes the last class could not get its turn till 11:00 a.m. Because of their exploitation, the police wanted to save time. The practitioners could not drink water at other times. Because of limited time for toilet breaks, many had to get by on as little water as possible.

The above-listed conditions are the perpetrators' restrained behaviour after Dafa practitioners from Mainland China and overseas exposed the truth and called for stopping the persecution. Before that, they used to be more brutal and used excruciating means of abuse. Punishment and retaliation were quite normal. I hereby appeal all kind people in the world, all righteous people, to join together to stop this ongoing persecution.
