Exposing the Forced Labour Situation at Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp
2012-09-25Forced labour is used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) labour camps to further punish, abuse, and torture Falun Gong practitioners and implement a long-term persecution of Falun Gong. People have to stand to pack mung beans. Some people do the weighing, some do the bagging, and others do the sealing and transportation. Since the mung bean bags are heavy, our arms are very sore at the end of the day with our waists and backs also in great pain. We are exhausted every day. For one batch of work, we may have to work from a few days to as long as two weeks. Packing dry tea is also a very tiring job. Prior to packing, several cartons of tealeaves are poured onto a large table. The dust from the tea gets onto people's clothes, skin, eyes, ears, mouths, and lungs, making one choke. -

Longkou City, Shandong Province: Over a Dozen Falun Gong Practitioners Arrested
2012-09-20The New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts' company promotes traditional Chinese culture. The Shen Yun artists have toured the world for the past six years and the performances are highly praised by people from all walks of lives. However, the Chinese authorities prohibited the group from performing in China, because the programmes contradict the ideology promoted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). When practitioners distribute DVDs of Shen Yun's performances in China, they are being threatened, arrested, imprisoned, taken to forced labour camps and more often than not face torture. On April 11th, the police arrested 13 practitioners involved in ordering cases for Shen Yun DVDs.
