The Persecution of Practitioners from Beijing at the Hohhot Women's Forced Labour Camp in Inner Mongolia
2009-05-21
According to a practitioner who was once detained at the Hohhot City Women's Forced Labour Camp, between 2001 and 2004, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) required labour camps to show a 100 per cent "transformation" rate. The "transformed" practitioners would recite their "guarantee statements," and if practitioners in the audience protested, they would be dragged out and beaten with police batons and belts. Several rooms in the labour camp had their windows covered with newspapers, and pitiful screams could often be heard from those rooms. The guards tried to force practitioners to "transform" by pressing the openings of bottles filled with boiling water to practitioners' backs and then removing the bottles. Their skin would decompose by the second day. -
