Dafa practitioner Ms. Yu Yingzhu, incarcerated at the Baimalong Forced Labour Camp in Zhuzhou City, has been forbidden to have family visits because she revealed her persecution experiences at the camp during a family visit.
Ms. Yu Yingzhu, 32 years old, used to be held at a detention centre and detained at a mental hospital because she firmly believed in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. She has already served a three-year term at the Baimalong Labour Camp. She was tortured and lost consciousness twice. The camp released her ten days after she completed her three-year term. On June 8th, 2004 the police broke into her home, arrested her and incarcerated her at Baimalong again. Ms. Yu Yingzhu was locked in small cell for eight days, forced to stand, and not permitted to sleep or eat. These tortures made her weak, dizzy and develop whole body oedema, from which she still suffers symptoms.
On May 1st, 2006, Yu's mother went to the camp to visit her. Yu Yingzhu told her mother that the camp authorities had incited several drug addicts to push her to the floor and forced her to sign a Repentance Statement1. A guard nearby interrupted the women's conversation. The guard took her away, thus terminating the visit.
On May 3rd a family member attempted to visit Ms. Yu, but was refused by the camp after the family pleaded with the camp officials for the whole morning. During the negotiations, Yu's mother listed all the incidents of persecution that happened to her daughter, such as standing in a small cell for eight days and nights, resulting in body oedema with more severe symptoms in the hands and feet; withholding her clothes for no reason so that Ms. Yu could only wear a thin shirt in the winter. However, the No. 7 Brigade chief who was personally involved in the persecution of practitioners denied any wrong-doing.
During the discussion, police officer Liu told Ms. Yu's family in a malicious tone, "Hey, no one died yet!" and another one shouted "Don't come if you do not cooperate with us!" The police officer on duty attempted to deceive the family by saying, "We don't do Falun Gong "transformation2" anymore." When the family asked for the immediate release of Ms. Yu, he responded with a vicious laugh. Wu Hongyi, production division head, responded to accusations of persecution of the Falun Gong practitioners at the camp by saying, "There is no such thing. No one dies at our camp!"
The Zhuzhou City's Baimalong Forced Labour Camp is one of the camps where Dafa practitioners are severely persecuted. It was not long ago that a letter was sent to United Nations human rights commission signed by over a thousand family members of detained practitioners at the Baimalong Forced Labour Camp to appeal for an investigation into that camp's extremely cruel crimes.
