Guizhou Province Women's Forced Labour Camp Refuses to Let Guards Go Home in Order to Cover Up News of Atrocities

To block the news of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, Guizhou Province Women's Forced Labour Camp refused to let the guards go home for a week recently. It is said that several practitioners were tortured to death in the labour camp, and among them was one woman from Chishui City or Xishui County.

The practitioners were frequently taken to isolated places, where selected individuals took turns driving them into the wall or iron beds by pulling their hands and deliberately tripping them. The perpetrators repeated this again and again for pleasure, while saying that they were 'giving lectures.' The practitioners were forced to stay longer if they did not cooperate. The brutal persecution of these female practitioners is constantly changing and it seems there is no end to the cruelty. Even a glance between practitioners incurs a beating. They also commonly rub an unknown drug on the practitioners at random.

Practitioner Ms. Zhang Yan, who used to work in the Zunyi City Medical College, was persecuted by the guards headed by GU Xingying until she was emaciated and could not even walk by herself. She was carried to the clinic for force-feeding many times. At the end of August 2003, she was carried to the clinic and bound to a bed, where she died while being force-fed. Nobody dares to disclose any further information.

Ms. Zou Qianzhu, a practitioner from Tongren City, was 44 years old. She was persecuted to death in October 2004 in the Guizhou Province Women's Forced Labour Camp. Ms. Zhan Yean from the Guiyang City Medical College was subjected to long-term persecution in the camp. As a result, she became completely paralysed and was emaciated. At the end of May 2005, they thought she would soon die, so she was sent home. She passed away on June 16th, 2005.

The overwhelming majority of the practitioners detained at the Guizhou Province Women's Forced Labour Camp have experienced the so-called "storm fortifications" persecution twice or more, not to mention the abuse and beatings at the hands of those egged on by the guards. A female practitioner was hung up and tormented for three days and nights. The guard said, "You still will not compromise?" Then he puffed on his cigarette until the end turned red and burned her breast. Between August and December 2002, they detained another female practitioner in the confinement cell in the garrison team in the Male Forced Labour Camp. There she was insulted and raped by the drug users. One suspect is Wang Jianqiang from Guiyang City.

The Guizhou Province Women's Forced Labour Camp forces practitioners to perform slave labour from 15 hours to sometimes more than 20 hours a day. If they do not finish the assigned task, they are verbally abused by the controlling inmates, who are usually drug users.
