Shangongli Forced Labor Camp Brutally Persecutes Dafa Practitioners

Hainan Province

Practitioners in both Shangongli Male and Female Forced Labor Camps have not met with their families for four months. The camps do not allow practitioners' families to send them clothes, even though the weather is already very cold. Information is tightly blocked, so practitioners' families do not even know if the practitioners are still alive.

The Resident Committee of Haikou City, the Neighborhood Committee, the County Government, the Security Department and the Police Station have set up brainwashing classes in which they try to force practitioners to give up their belief in Dafa. Currently, a large number of practitioners have been kidnapped or deceived into going to these classes. These committees and departments are penalized if practitioners who are put under their "care" refuse to renounce Dafa.

The guards in the classes use all kinds of brutal means to torture practitioners. Practitioners are often denied sleep and suffer various mental and physical tortures. The guards abuse the laws and deprive practitioners of their most fundamental rights. They transfer practitioners who refuse to write the "guarantee statements" [renouncing Falun Dafa] directly to the forced labor camps.
