In August 2000, I was illegally arrested because of distributing Falun Dafa literature. Because I refused to tell the source of the literature, they sentenced me to two years in the Pingantai Labor Camp.
In the labor camp, we Falun Dafa practitioners did not even have the right to speak. One day, I shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" and they locked me into a small cell. They cuffed me to the heating pipe so that I could not stand or squat. The team leader and the inmates watched me in turns and did not allow me to sleep or even to use the toilet. They only gave me one bun a day to eat. After several days of torture like this, they forced me to write a statement to give up practicing Falun Gong. I refused, so the guards and the inmates beat me with electric batons and stuffed my mouth with their dirty socks. I still refused to write it. They then handcuffed me from behind, hung me up, slapped me, and shocked me with electric batons. They only gave me half a bun to eat every day. I became lightheaded and fainted from hunger. They took this opportunity to force my fingerprint on a prepared statement. I realized this when I gained consciousness and immediately announced to them that the fingerprint was not valid. They became very angry and hung me up again. They tortured me like this for more than 14 days. In the end, they had no other means but to write a statement to their supervisors. When I was released out of the cell, my legs and feet were so swollen that I could not put on any shoes. However, I still had to perform heavy labor or else would receive physical punishments.
Besides beating practitioners, the guards also often incited some drug addicts to beat us. Once they asked me what crime I had committed. I replied, "I did not commit any crime. I just practice Falun Gong." The guard incited the inmates to beat me. As long as I denied that I committed any crime, they would continue to beat me. Even some inmates could not bear to watch and advised me, "can’t you just say that you disrupted the social order?" They also knew that the torture of practitioners was not liable to be exposed. One day, I saw that they beat a female practitioner, Zhao Fenglian from Jinchang, in a small cell. Zhao shouted, "The Fa rectifies the Cosmos, the Evil is completely eliminated." Appallingly, they covered her mouth. Although her voice became fainter, she continued to shout determinedly. Once they dragged a female practitioner, Li Dexiang, out to be tortured for a day. She was full of wounds when she was sent back. The guard told the public, "She had diarrhea. We gave her some fluid for a day and now she looks much better." Later some inmates who had righteous thoughts told us that Li was tortured for a day.
Right before I was released, a female practitioner was just sent in. She had white skin and a healthy, shining, ruddy complexion. When I saw her two or three days later, she was locked in the team leader's office. She had changed completely with swelling and bruises on her hands and face.
Once we went out to work and saw that the labor camp was organizing a group of drug addicts for exercise. The inmates were all dressed in uniforms. In fact they were taping TV scenes that showed how bogus practitioners were converted.
I experienced and witnessed the above personally. I intended to expose the evil and to clarify the truth, so more people will be able to know the brutal torture endured by Falun Dafa practitioners, their great compassion and tolerance, as well as the ruthless and pretend kindness of Jiang Zemin. I hope that people will not be deceived by the false political propaganda.
