Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp Attempts to Force Practitioner to Renounce Dafa in Vain

Ms. Du Hongfang was unlawfully arrested by authorities from the Jilin City Police Department in July 2002. After all sorts of torture, she was unlawfully sentenced to 2 years. Now she is being detained at Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City.

In the second group of the 4th brigade, she was forcefully brainwashed by collaborators [Former Falun Gong practitioners who have turned against Dafa due to brainwashing and torture.] and policemen under the instruction of Zhang Guimei. She was not permitted to sleep and forcibly kept awake day and night, and was forced to watch videotapes and read books slandering Falun Dafa and Teacher. In spite of such massive pressure, she persisted in her beliefs. She exposed the crimes Jiang Zemin and his collaborators have committed towards Dafa practitioners in the monthly "Assembly of Thoughts Report", and would sign her name with the title "Dafa practitioner". In retaliation, the police tortured her with electric batons each time.

In the labour camp, the "transformation rate" has a quota to be maintained at a 90% level. To achieve this, 7 or 8 policemen, instructed by their supervisor, tortured her to an extreme. However, their efforts to force her to renounce her belief were all in vain. Then, they took out pre-written "Agreement to Transform" statements for her to sign. She refused, of course. The group of policemen forced her down onto the ground, some grabbed her arms, while some pressed and held her legs. Two of them held her hand and forced her fingerprint onto the agreement.

She resisted with righteous thoughts and told the policemen: "Dafa is my life, whatever means you use cannot change my determination to practice Falun Dafa." She also actively prevented those policemen from further committing crimes by telling the facts of Falun Dafa to them. The supervisor and other policemen were awed by her courage and gave her back the signed agreement. Finally, the supervisor asked her not to sign the title, "Dafa practitioner" in the monthly report, but she refused as usual.
