Practitioner Ms Song Ailiang from Dalian Tortured in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Song Ailian from Dalian City was tortured for over one year while she was detained at the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. She returned home in a dignified manner in early December 2005.

In October 2004, Song Ailian was transferred from the Dalian Forced Labour Camp to the Fourth Division of the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. On October 28th, 2004, Ms. Song refused to cooperate with the unreasonable demands of the guards, refused to do the labour camp exercises, and refused to wear the labour camp uniform. For this, she was confined in a small water boiler room for over a month. Because she helped fellow practitioners to appeal for Dafa, Ms. Song was attacked, pushed and dragged by a group of labour camp guards. The division heads, Wang Xiaofeng, Cui Hong, and several male guards locked her in a small room. Warden Wang Xiaofeng grabbed her hair and four guards beat her. Song Ailian was in solitary confinement for eleven days, and her term in the forced labour camp was extended by three months.

In late March 2005, to further persecute Falun Dafa practitioners, the Masanjia Forced Labour camp classified Falun Dafa practitioners into several categories. The first brigade adopted the "completely sealed management," and any contact from outside the labour camp was prohibited. The practitioners were not allowed to come down to the first floor even during meals, and they had no hot water. They could only drink cold water [note: in China, especially in prison, the cold tap water is not sanitary and not suitable for drinking] and take cold baths. The practitioners collectively protested against the persecution. Beginning on April 1st, they all went on a hunger strike. All the guards were mobilised to force-feed practitioners, which is really a method of further persecution. Over ten people forcibly fed one practitioner. The food was corn porridge mixed with unknown substances.

Early in April, Song Ailian recited Falun Dafa articles together with other practitioners. Cui Hong and Li Mingyu brought her to the office of the labour camp and tried to make a written statement. Song Ailian refused to cooperate with them. The guards kicked and punched her and handcuffed her to the radiators. When she shouted "Falun Dafa is great," they sealed her mouth with tape.

On July 1st, Song Ailian and other practitioners did the Falun Gong exercises together. Song Ailian was put in a storage room on the second floor for two days. On July 4th, guards put Song Ailian in a small room for eight days of solitary confinement.

The guards at the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp also persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners using fabricated confessions. For example, Cui Hong and Huang Haiyan and other police pretended to be Falun Dafa practitioners and fabricated written confessions. They put their own fingerprints on the confessions as if they were fingerprints of Falun Dafa practitioners.

Ms. Song Ailian walked out of the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp on December 1st, 2005.
