Inside the Labour Camps

  • Director Lies about Conditions in Yichuan Labour Camp

    Mr. Zhou Shuzhang was cuffed to an extremely hot steam pipe on the ceiling resulting in one of his hand muscles being severely burnt almost as though cooked. The handcuff cut into his wrist muscle so deeply that his blood was streaming down. In addition, some officers constantly commanded some thug inmates to punch or kick upward on him heavily causing him to swing while in that excruiating position. That was intolerably cruel.
  • Yimianpo Labour Camp's Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners

    In a typical situation, two prisoners would lift up a stone pipe weighing more than 100 pounds and come up to practitioners to ask them if they still wanted to practise. When a practitioner answered "yes," they would drop the stone pipe down onto the practitioner's body. Sometimes the practitioner's face would be broken, his head would have huge swellings, or the skin on his shoulder would be peeled off. The injuries were so gruesome that they were difficult to look at.
  • Brutal Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Yaziquan

    She once went on hunger strike for ten days in order to protest the illegal detention. She was forced-fed once a day, sometimes twice a day. Each time she refused to cooperate, and each time she was beaten black and blue by the wicked. Each time when the thick pipe used for force-feeding was pulled out from her stomach, the end was all bloody.
  • Evil Deeds in Pingantai Labour Camp

    Male practitioners are given the heaviest and hardest jobs during the daytime. At night they are hung up with their hands handcuffed from behind and drug addicts take turns torturing them. Some female practitioners are hung up during the daytime and are sent back to the cell at night; some are forced to labour during the daytime and are beaten during the night; some are forced to work in the daytime and afterwards are forced to stand the entire night without any sleep
  • Falun Dafa Practitioners Are Transferred to the notorious Ji County Labour Camp to Be Persecuted

    The Ji County Labour Camp is notorious for its endorsement of "No responsibility to beat people to death".
  • The Evils of Heizuizi Female Labour Camp in Jilin Province

    The guards often took the practitioners to a remote location to torture them so that the others would not see, and they closed the door so that the others would not hear.
  • Inhuman Treatment of Falun Dafa Practitioners in detention centres and at the notorious Wanjia Labour Camp

    At the ensemble convention of the Labour Camp on June 18, the director of the Camp said: "Those who won't give up cultivation practice have to be forced to renounce it. The battle against Falun Gong is a life-and-death struggle and this is a directive from the Central Committee (of the Party name omitted). Then during the night of June 20, the tragedy of several Falun Dafa practitioners being tortured to death occurred.
  • Horror at Xishanping Labour Camp: The perpertrators of the crimes are named

    Kang Hong was frequently locked in the "Leifeng Tower," which is a horrendous cell for solitary confinement. It is a famous water dungeon. It was dark all year long. There was neither natural nor electric light. Standing water and human waste accumulated several inches deep inside the dungeon. To make it more frightful, many dead rats and snakes were tossed in. Some practitioners were tied to beds with the tubes left in their esophagus.
  • Torture at Xiangfan City Labour Camp

    The director of the labour camp, Shi said, "Torturing you to death is just like trampling an ant. You have to work even during the hunger strike. It will be considered suicide when you die!"
  • All the Means of Brainwashing and "Criticize and Denounce" Used During the Cultural Revolution Have Been Applied to Force Practitioners to Give Up Falun Dafa

  • The Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Changlinzi Labour Camp in Harbin City

    In these gloomy and damp cells, the prisoner is handcuffed in a position such that he or she can neither move about freely nor lie down. The compartments are usually full of rats and with a horrible odour as a result of prisoner's not being allowed to use normal bathroom facilities and having to relieve themselves in their solitary confinement cell. The prisoner is also starved, given only half a meal a day. Each confinement period could be as long as half a month.
  • The Experiences of Two Female Dafa Practitioners in Beijing's Chaoyang Detention Centre

    While the two practitioners were strapped to the boards, several wardens took turns watching them, and forbidding them to talk, sleep, or even close their eyes. At one point, Wang Haixia refused to open her eyes. Feng Chunmei, the prison warden, slapped her over ten times, but Feng still failed to make Wang Haixia yield in her determination.
  • Exposing the Evil in the Masanjia Labour Camp

    There is another major evil crime prevalent in Masanjia Labour Camp: It's called "Sealed education." The labour camp staff is directed to block all channels that may expose the truth to the outside world, and they put up a false appearance to deceive all visitors. In May of this year, the World Human Rights Organization sent a group to investigate the issue of Falun Gong practitioners detained inside Masanjia; however, what they saw there was a facade pre-arranged by the labour camp staff.
  • Vicious People,Vicious Suppressions: Responsible work units and organizations that endorse the persecution are named

    More than thirty practitioners have been detained for ten to fifty days without any legitimate legal procedure being conducted. Moreover, suppressions, such as dismissing Falun Dafa practitioners from their work places, giving them large fines, ransacking their houses, sending them to detention at will, and threatening, following, and monitoring them, have been countless.
  • Practitioners in the Xiguoyuan Detention Centre Start a Hunger Strike to Mourn Fellow Practitioners

    The Xiguoyuan Detention Centre tortured practitioner Liu Lanxiang to death in April 2001 and Zhang Fengyun in August. After Zhang Fengyun's death, the officials tried to block the news from leaking out by cancelling all outdoor activities for the inmates. They even sent meals to individual cells instead of letting the inmates eat together. Still, the terrible news spread from Group 14, where the death took place, to Team 15.
