Atrocities at Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp in Sichuan Province

Xinhua Forced Labour Camp in Mianyang, Sichuan Province used to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners by forcing them to carry burning bricks inside the brickyard kiln. Each person only had two minutes to go in and come out; people often fell unconscious, collapsing to the ground. Each person had to work 8 hours a day, and their gloves were often burnt through. Later, practitioners went on a hunger strike to protest against such mistreatment while practitioners outside wrote an article entitled "Brickyard Kiln at Xinhua" and posted it on the Falun Dafa website, Clearwisdom. Since then, the Xinhua Forced Labour camp no longer dared to force practitioners to carry burning bricks. Even the criminal inmates inside the camp felt the positive change in the environment and thanked the practitioners for bringing about the change. Therefore, we should also expose the atrocities committed by Nanmusi Forced Labour Camp in order to stop the persecution there.

In mid-November 2004, policewomen bound Ms. Yang Zhengru, a practitioner from Shifang County, Sichuan Province, onto a metal rotary clothes line in the spread-eagle position with handcuffs and shackles. The policewomen beat Ms. Yang severely with high voltage electric batons, causing her to fall unconscious. A criminal inmate was then ordered to press the acupuncture point above Yang Zhengru's lips to wake her up. When Ms. Yang came to, they demanded that she say she had fallen unconscious for no reason. If she refused, Chen had to continue beating her. Ms. Yang is now very weak and emaciated due to frequent beatings.

Policewoman Li Qi, a team leader from Sandaqi Brigade, incited criminal inmates to beat Chengdu practitioner Ms. Xu Peiqi numerous times. They deprived her of all freedom and put her under strict control.

Li Qi also forced criminal inmate Qing Xiurong to beat Ms. Tong Guiqiong, a Dafa practitioner from Ermei, as she refused to cooperate with the prison rules and sang Dafa songs. Li Qi and other perpetrators beat Ms. Tong so frequently that Ms. Tong suffered a mental collapse and physical disfigurement.

Li Qi and perpetrators Chen Qi and Zhang Yuqiong (these two criminals have since been released from jail) often beat up Dafa practitioner Ms. Yang Guiying from Luzhou. Ms. Yang is now extremely weak.

Li Qi and perpetrator Li Yan beat Dafa practitioner Ms. Lu Yuancui from Xichang numerous times with steel wire because she refused to be brainwashed. She was often beaten unconscious. These perpetrators also threatened Ms. Lu so that she would not tell anyone about the abuse.

Li Qi ordered Chengdu practitioner Ms. Su Shihui to write defamatory statements against Falun Dafa when she was writing her end-of-jail-term summary report. Ms. Su refused. Li Qi then forced criminal inmates to beat Ms. Su. Her screams of pain could be heard for a long distance. Practitioners and other inmates couldn't help crying upon hearing such heart-wrenching cries. Li Qi and other perpetrators then stuffed Ms. Su's mouth with a cloth and continued to beat her. Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp later transferred Dafa practitioners under the age of 44 to the Fourth Brigade or other brigades, for fear that the abuse they suffered would be exposed.

The above are just some of the atrocities at Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp. The persecution is still taking place there.
