Beijing Forced Labour Dispatch Office Conspires with Forced Labour Camp to Exploit Practitioners' Labour for Profit

The Beijing Forced Labour Dispatch Office conspired with the Hebei Gaoyang Labour Camp in order to make more profit. The office transferred to Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp many Falun Gong practitioners who had been seriously persecuted and were supposed to be sent to a hospital. Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp transferred these practitioners to a factory as menial laborers.

In order to increase their profits, the factory forced the practitioners to work more than 12 hours per day. There was a report on the Internet that Qin Peng, a postgraduate student at Qinghua University, was in such a position. Another person being seriously persecuted is Wang Lei.

Ms. Wang Lei, from Liangxiang in the Fashan area of Beijing, started to practise Falun Gong in 1996. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, she was arrested several times by the police. Just because she persisted in practising Falun Gong, she was detained seven times. The Inner Mongolia Linhe Police Department, the Beijing Fangshan Police Department, the Henan Zhenzhou Police Department and the Shijiazhuang Police Department have all detained her at least once. The police once attempted to send her to a labour camp but failed. While she was hunger striking to protest the persecution, they shocked her with electric batons and humiliated her. She was also tied up for five days and force fed. She was arrested but had to be released because her hunger strike endangered her life.

In 2001, Ms. Wang Lei was sentenced to three years of forced labour and sent to Huhehaote Women's Labour Camp. In order to "transform" (1) her, police electro-shocked and beat her for half an hour until she passed out. Her hand was bleeding and she had to be dragged out of the office. Later, police held a brainwashing class and cruelly tortured her for seven days. Her hands and feet were tied up and the authorities electro-shocked her face using two batons simultaneously. Later, her term was extended ten more months. Ms. Wang Lei was savagely persecuted mentally and physically. Police still forced her to work for more than 18 hours a day, causing her to become mentally unbalanced.

Because of the long-term torture, Wang Lei became mentally ill. On November 17 2004, almost eight months after she was released, Beijing Fangshan Police Department arrested her again and sent her to the Fangshan Detention Centre. During her hunger strike, the police continuously force-fed her. She was again sentenced, this time to two and a half years of forced labour, and sent to the Daxing Forced Labour Dispatch Office. The office knew that she had mental problems but still admitted her even though, according to the law, forced labour camps cannot accept people with mental problems. She was extremely weak, but the police still forced her to stay in the "sit on a bench" posture, with her hands on her knees, for 17 hours. In order to force her to write a guarantee statement (2), the police appointed six criminals with drug-related convictions to beat, abuse, humiliate, and torture her. Her health problems became more and more severe, but she was still sent to Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp. The labour camp not only accepted her, but also ordered her to pay for her treatment.

Beijing Forced Labour Dispatch Office has colluded with Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, committing many heinous crimes.
