Practitioners Are Still Tortured and Killed at the Wangcun Men’s Forced Labour Camp, Shandong Province

Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the minghui.ca website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).

After Jiang Zemin and his followers started persecuting Falun Gong practitioners on July 20th, 1999, several thousand Falun Dafa practitioners have been imprisoned at the Wangcun Forced Labour Camp for Men in Shandong Province. By order of the Chinese Communist Party and the provincial 610 Office¹, many practitioners were brutally tortured to death. Many other practitioners were crippled and disabled.

Zhao Liming, a practitioner from Zujia Village, Shouguang City, was twice jailed at the camp. During his first imprisonment, he was beaten until he passed out, leaving him with permanent injuries. A camp staff member named Sun from the camp’s ninth platoon led the persecution. They also extorted 800 yuan² from his family. Mr. Zhao is currently imprisoned and being persecuted at the camp for the second time. He is being held by the eighth platoon.

The guards at the Wang Village Forced Labour Camp almost always hang Falun Dafa practitioners by handcuffs in dark rooms or the captain’s toilet. Practitioners Fu Yong and Xu Yanzhong were hung by handcuffs for eight days. The following practitioners who refused to be transformed³ were all hung this way: Liu Xingwu, Pan Haiming, Wang Jianzhong, Liu Renlong, Song Junlong, Huang Qiliang, and Mingming (a disabled young man, only 15 years old).

The staff force-fed Yin Zijing, 50, for more than 10 days and deprived him of sleep. Captain Zhang Yuhua tortured Wang Weigao with instruments for several months beginning in October 2005. Mr. Wang was not able to walk or talk for several months.

The captains of the guards viciously beat the practitioners who are suspended by handcuffs. Many of the practitioners who refuse to give in have also been forced to do extremely heavy labour.

Ma Yanlin, male, living in Dongyin city, Shandong Province, works as a labour camp assistant enforcer, assisting the guards with brainwashing torture.

Fu Yongjun, male, residing in Liangshan, Shandong Province, twice joined the camp’s staff in persecuting practitioners.

Liu Ge, male, living in Huimin, Shandong Province, informed on eleven Falun Dafa practitioners. The authorities then exhorted 3,000 yuan from each practitioner.

Liu Chunshan, male, residing in Haiyang County, Yantai City, helps the police in transforming practitioners.

Shen Zhijun, male, living in Wendeng County, Weihai City, Shandong Province, works as a full time assistant enforcer at the Wang Village Labour Camp.
