Guards in Kaifeng City Forced Labour Camp Use Brutal Persecution Methods

Kaifeng City Forced Labour Camp in Henan Province is the one of the worst offenders for brutally persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. The person in charge of this persecution is Cheng Junbo, Vice Party Secretary of the camp. Cheng tries hard to use the persecution of practitioners as an opportunity to get a promotion.

Cheng Junbo slandered and scolded Falun Gong and Falun Gong practitioners by threatening both practitioners and their relatives. For example, in order to take credit for persecuting Falun Gong, he demanded that the practitioners' families give him flags of honour, trophies, or baskets of flowers. For the sake of their loved one they felt they had no other choice but to unwillingly give into his demands. At one of the meetings between Cheng Junbo and practitioner's families, one of the practitioner's relatives was so upset that he fainted at the event of giving Cheng an honour flag. Cheng ordered the guards to force practitioners who were forced to give up their belief in Dafa under pressure to write down on their "reference material" how he and other supervisors were working "very hard" and with "great compassion" in transforming practitioners (meaning to force them to renounce Dafa). In the brainwashing class, Cheng lied to everyone, fabricated all kinds of false stories, while pretending to be a very kind person. He even sent a normal healthy practitioner to a psychiatric mental hospital for treatment. At the labour camp's meeting, he publicly emphasises and encourages all of the detainees in the labour camp to beat up and scold practitioners. At one large-scale meeting, he gave all of the guards a piece of dirty, soiled cloth to gag practitioners' mouths if they tried to speak out. He linked the results of the persecution through brainwashing with the rewards given to guards and forced them to treat the practitioners with brutality. Cheng rewarded those guards who actively participated in persecuting practitioners, and threatened those guards who were unwilling to participate in the persecution with demotion, penalty, loss of personal career opportunity, etc. Under pressure from Cheng's threats, some of the guards have increased the persecution of practitioners. Some of their evil acts are listed below:

The Fifth Division:

The fifth division is located at Wei's Chemical Factory. In order to forcefully brainwash practitioners, they used the bait of "early release from jail" to coerce prisoners to handcuff practitioners, kick them, and brutally beat them with a rod. As a result, one practitioner had broken bones, one practitioner had a swollen face, and another practitioner had his teeth broken. Some practitioners were handcuffed by both hands and burned with a lighter, while other practitioners were handcuffed and exposed to intense and long-term sunlight.

The Fourth Division:

The fourth division is located at Kaifeng City's Phosphorus' Chemical Factory and it is the main place where practitioners are subjected to so-called "transformation." Cheng Junbo also used this place to persecute practitioners. Practitioners were forced to pack phosphorous under intense labour every day. Meanwhile all of the guards took turns interrogating practitioners and deprived the practitioners of sleep during the night. During the summer, the practitioners' hands and legs were bloody, mangled, and became infected. Practitioners were usually handcuffed while they had their faces slapped or spat on, and were also brutally beaten with rods. The person who is responsible for this persecution is Liang Hongtao.

The Third Division:

At this place, practitioners who were exceptionally determined were sent to other labour camps. Here the practitioners were not allowed to sleep all night. As an attempt to destroy practitioners' determination, the practitioners were brutally beaten up with sticks, meanwhile, in order to prevent their screams from being heard, the guards used blankets to gag practitioners' mouths, as they would smash the toes of the practitioners with sticks. They forced practitioners into unbearable postures, forcefully opened practitioners' mouths and spat phlegm down their throats. They also put a water bottle into practitioners' anus' and pumped water into it. The person who is responsible for this persecution is Gu Jianjun.

The First Division:

Jail leader Zhang Hu beat and kicked practitioners personally and also used both hands to pierce practitioners' ears. He personally handcuffed a practitioner to a so-called "control chair" (apparatus that makes people unable to walk if people sit on it for couple of hours). He offered the inmates a reduced sentence in exchange for their participation and attracted more than ten inmates to persecute practitioners. Under his forceful control and order, more than ten labour camp criminals took turns beating up practitioners and even spat phlegm in practitioners' faces. In the winter, they took off practitioners' clothes and poured cold water on them while using an electric fan to chill them further.
