Recent Atrocities Committed at Suihua Forced Labour Camp, Heilongjiang Province

Thirty-one Falun Gong practitioners, among whom 10 are from Shuangcheng City, are currently being held at the Suihua Forced Labour Camp in Heilongjiang Province.

The forced labour camp officials held a meeting for Falun Gong practitioners on December 29th, 2011, because the provincial 610 Office agents (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) would come to inspect the camp's “transformation” [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] of practitioners. The camp officials attempted to have the practitioners renounce their belief in Falun Gong against their will. Because practitioner Mr. Jin Jie refused to immediately comply, guards Shi Jian and Fan Xiaodong became infuriated and hung him up from the top of a bunk bed, beating and shocking him with electric batons.

Practitioner Mr. Liu Jingzhou was sent to this forced labour camp on January 19th, 2012. He refused to write the “three statements” to renounce practising Falun Gong. In addition, he had previously ripped up his name card before being released from forced labour camp detention in September 2011, thus the guards vented their anger on him by ruthlessly beating him. Division head Fan Juying, political head Fan Xiaodong, team lead Shi Jian, and guards Jin Qingfu, Wang Xiaobin and others participated in physically abusing and torturing Mr. Liu. They hung Mr. Liu up and shocked him with electric batons, covered his head with a plastic bag and blew smoke into it, and stabbed him with toothpicks. Mr. Liu's mouth swelled outward more than one inch. Even today, he cannot fully use his left hand as a result of the abuse.

On February 8th, guard Jin Qingfu beat Mr. Lu Qingbo, shocked him with an electric baton, slapped him in the face, and fiercely kicked him.

Guards order criminal inmates to closely monitor practitioners and forbid them from talking to each other.
