At the end of 2002, when I was detained at Kaiping Forced Labour Camp in Tangshan City, Hebei Province, I met a female practitioner who had been transferred from Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp. She was on hunger strike to protest the persecution. Her arrival helped me realise some of the means that Gaoyang Labour Camp uses to persecute Dafa practitioners.
Her hair was cut extremely short by camp authorities, even shorter than a man's short hairstyle. She was timid and anxious, watching everyone cautiously and distrustfully. She didn't address anyone speaking to her directly. It could be clearly seen that she has been beaten and tortured. When she took a shower, I saw she had large areas of bruises on her body. Later when we got to know her better, she told us some of her experiences of being persecuted at Gaoyang Labour Camp.
Two policemen once took her to some remote field in the countryside in the middle of the night. They fixed two large iron hoes into the ground and handcuffed her to them. They put earphones on her and played loud shrieks and howls. They clamped electrodes from a field-radio generator to her toes and shocked her internal organs so fiercely that her vital organs felt unbearable pain.
Gaoyang Labour Camp is among those that most severely persecute Dafa practitioners in Hebei Province. The majority of practitioners from different areas of Hebei Province who remain steadfast in their practice are sent to this camp. Gaoyang Labour Camp even instructs other camps how to "transform1" practitioners.
