The Persecution Methods Used at a Forced Labour Camp in Jiangxi Province

Since July 20th, 1999, Majialong Forced Labour Camp in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, has never stopped persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.

On August 23rd, 2005, Xiao Jing, a direct participant in the persecution, tied up Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Hu Meizhen by the wrists and stuffed a dirty rag in his mouth on the guards' orders.

At Majialong Forced Labour Camp the guards order collaborators¹ to persecute practitioners, and when the practitioners report the abuses, the guards always refute their accountability. Officials at Majialong use all the notorious methods devised at other forced labour camps to persecute practitioners, as well as the following brutal torture methods. The first one is known as "Stick to the Wall," in which the arms and legs of a practitioner are forced apart as much as possible, then the practitioner is forced to face a wall with his or her whole body pressed to it, until the practitioner chokes and falls. Fan Lujie and other practitioners from Jiujiang City were persecuted in this way until they lost consciousness. Having been prohibited from using the toilet for 10 to 15 days, many of the practitioners suffered extreme pain and constipation. Another torture method is called "Bent at the Waist With Head Touching the Wall," in which a practitioner is forced to stand about half a metre from a wall and bend 90 degrees at the waist. The cap of an ink bottle is placed between the practitioner's head and the wall. Those in charge closely monitor the practitioner and prohibit any movement.

Mr. Mao Rulun was a 66-year-old practitioner from Jiujinag City. In March 2001 he was sentenced to two years of forced labour and suffered brutal torture at the Majialong Forced Labour Camp. A guard of the second group, Deng Chengsong, ordered collaborator Wu Binlin to torture him. They handcuffed Mr. Mao Rulun to a window, forcing him to stand on his tiptoes. Wu wet the floor with soapy water, causing Mr. Mao to slip. They also hit Mr. Mao in the kneecaps with a wooden board. They hung Mr. Mao up like that for three days with nothing to eat or drink. Later they cuffed his hands behind his back and hung him on the window frame. Mr. Mao's 190 pounds were suspended only by the handcuffs, which cut into his wrists and caused serious injury. He was very weak after being released from the camp. On February 11th, 2004, Mr. Mao Rulun passed away.
