The Evil Persecution Methods Used in Panjin Forced Labour Camp

1. Policemen went to Shenyang City's Masanjia Forced Labour Camp and Fushun City, Liaoning Province to learn how to effectively persecute practitioners. They began another round of crazily persecuting practitioners.

2. Tan Xiaobiao, a policeman and chief of the management team brutally beat one practitioner who was then locked in an iron cage that was especially made for torturing practitioners. People who are locked up inside this cage can neither stand up nor lie down. The practitioner was kept in this cage for 9 days, without being given any food. The only reason for this punishment was that this practitioner refused to "learn his lesson." Here is a picture that depicts the torture he was forced to endure:

3. The Criminal policemen established so-called "camp rules". They forced practitioners to practice Taichi [in order to disturb practitioners and force them to practice another cultivation system against their will. It would be the same as if forcing a person of one spiritual belief to forcibly study the teachings of another spiritual system against their will] and brutally beat practitioners time after time whenever the practitioners resisted.

4. Often a group of policemen would beat one practitioner. They found excuses for beating and took pleasure in it. They also instigated prisoners to beat practitioners.

5. They forced those practitioners who were uncompromising to do heavy labour and deprived them of their right to sleep. They even treated disabled practitioners the same way.

6. They used all means to physically abuse practitioners, including "riding an airplane" [In this torture, the head is bent down until it cannot go down any further, while the hands are pulled up and held up to the highest point. The hips have to point up. One is forced to keep this position unchanged for a long time. The body in this position looks like the shape of an airplane, which is how this torture got its name.] , "Body-folding," [In this torture, one is forced to bend one's waist 90 degrees with an over 80kg prisoner riding on him] and punishment by forcing to stand still for a long time. The criminal policemen have completely lost all sense of their humanity.

7. All policemen wantonly abused and beat practitioners. They used any implements within their reach to beat practitioners, including pickaxes, batons, electric batons and wooden stools. Batons and electric batons are the most often used implements.

8. They humiliated practitioners by forcing them to squat on the ground and imitate various animals' sounds.

9. Practitioners suffered brutal violence because they tore down the camp slogans that slandered Falun Dafa. The forced labour camp policemen tortured them for 5 days. The policemen even instigated prisoners to beat practitioners and claimed, "There's no penalty if practitioners are beaten to death."

10. The criminal policemen tried to hide evidence of the tortures. When they brutally beat practitioners, they turned up the volume of music or covered practitioners' mouths to stop the painful screams.

11. Some practitioners compromised against their own will because they couldn't bear such inhuman torture. After they had realised that compromising under high pressure was wrong, they announced that they would continue practising Falun Dafa. Consequently they had to suffer all kinds of torture again, such as brutal beatings, being hung in an iron cage, being forced to stand still for a long time, sleep deprivation, being shocked by electric batons, "riding an airplane," walking while squatting down and sitting still on a wooden stool for long periods of time. Even a 67-year-old man was also brutally beaten.

12. Because some practitioners refused to wear prison uniforms, the criminal policemen instigated common prisoners to torture them every day, for one whole month.

The chief criminal of Panjin's Forced Labour Camp is Zhang Shoujiang. His henchmen are Tang Xiaobiao, Chen Changli, Liu Minghua, and Liu Yongbin

In order to gain credit toward his promotion, Yu Changhe, director of Panjin's City Police Department, sentenced a practitioner who merely handed out a truth-clarifying flyer to his relatives to 3 years of forced labour and sent him to the notorious Masanjia Forced Labour Camp.

More then 100 practitioners are illegally imprisoned at Panjin City's Forced Labour Camp, and some of them are still illegally imprisoned after their detention terms expired.
