Ms. Zhao Lerong Beaten by Guards and Inmates at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

The guards at Masanjia Women's Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province have use many methods to persecute Falun Gong practitioners over the years, including inciting criminal inmates to torture practitioners.

Ms. Zhao Lerong, in her 60s, was severely persecuted in July 2011. Although she was very weak and couldn't sleep, the guards still forced her to stand for a long period of time, beat her, and didn't allow her to rest during lunch time.

One day around noon, an inmate who monitored practitioners, Ying Junjie, forcibly took Ms. Zhao to the toilet and beat her. When Ms. Zhao cried for help, Ying immediately covered her mouth to try to stop her. At that time, many inmates from the No. 4 team of the No. 3 division ran over to see what was happening. One of them went to tell Zhang Huan, director of the No. 3 division who is also in charge of persecuting practitioners, about the incident. Zhang Huan then told Ying Junjie to come to her office. In order to deceive everyone at the forced labour camp, Zhang pretended to shout at Ying Junjie, saying, “Why are you beating Zhao Lerong when you know that she is sick!” At the same time, however, she was secretly plotting how to further persecute Ms. Zhao to try to force her to give up her belief in Falun Gong.

Shortly after lunch the next day, Zhang Huan held Ms. Zhao in the cafeteria. Inmates who monitored practitioners then began to beat Ms. Zhao. Ying Junjie was the first person to begin beating Ms. Zhao. At the same time, guards Wang Danfeng and Shao shocked her with electric batons. Later, director Qiao from the No. 1 team took pictures of Ms. Zhao being assaulted. Zhang Huan and Zhang Lei, the new assistant director also in charge of persecuting practitioners, stood there watching and laughed loudly.
