[Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the minghui.ca website, the (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).]

The Nanhu Forced Labour Camp is one of the primary places in Anhui province where Falun Dafa practitioners are persecuted. Many Falun Gong practitioners from Anhui province were sent to this camp for illegal forced labour. Some practitioners lost their lives here due to torture and forced labour.

Mr. Yang Haisheng, a practitioner from Chizhou, was sent to the "adjusting" team in 2004. Because he practised the Falun Dafa exercises at night, he was confined and inhumanly tortured. Afterwards, Haisheng Yang could not even stand steadily and was sent to a hospital. Another practitioner, Ms. Li Aiyun was severely beaten and required stitches.

Mr. Lu Qinghai, a practitioner from Shitai County, Guichi City was sentenced to three years of forced labour. Because Mr. Lu would not renounce his belief in Falun Dafa, the guards hung him in the air and forced his hands onto the "three statements"1. From December 2004 through the middle of May 2005, Mr. Lu Qinghai was subjected to the "Adjusting Team." During this phase, the police handcuffed him for seven lengthy periods of time (a kind of torture). Once it lasted 10 days. The time periods Mr. Lu Qinghai was handcuffed were:

February 8th - 17th, 2005 (10 days)
March 13th - 19th, 2005 (7 days)
April 8th - 13th, 2005 (6 days)
June 19th - 26th, 2005 (7 days)
August 7th - 15th, 2005 (9 days)
September 11th - 18th, 2005 (7 days)
December 9th - 17th, 2005 (9 days)

The perpetrators who beat Lu Qinghai are Hu Jianbing, Li Yingfa, Wang Xiaofeng, Lu Yun, Hua Zhongxin, and Jiang Yongguang. Because he was forced to stand for excruciating periods of time, Mr. Lu's legs swelled to the size of water buckets. His urine was the colour of iron rust. Sometimes he had diarrhoea for very long time. From the torture, he lost more than 15 kg (33 lbs).


Note

1. "Three Statements": Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write "Repentance Statement," "Guarantee Statement" or 'Dissociation Statement" as proof that they have given up their belief. In the statement, the practitioner is forced to admit remorse for practising Falun Gong, promise to give up Falun Gong, and never again associate with other practitioners or go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong.
