Eyewitness to the Vicious Incidents at Shandong Province No. 2 Women's Forced Labour Camp

Chinese Communist Party (CCP) 610 Office¹ detained me at Shandong Province No. 2 Women's Forced Labour Camp (Wangcun Labour Camp in Zibo City). I am revealing some inside stories about this forced labour camp so that more people will know how Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured, and people will better understand the CCP's vicious nature.

Wangcun Forced Labour Camp officials punish the steadfast Falun Gong practitioners by forcing them to sit on benches all day long while at the same time collaborators² attempt to "reform³" them. If the practitioners refuse to be reformed, they would be forbidden to sleep. Because I could not tolerate sleep deprivation I gave in and allowed them to "reform" me.

This camp has a basement where the prison guards locked up those practitioners who were not "reformed." Once a prison guard asked me to go get some water. As I opened the door, I saw a practitioner hanging on a wall. Her head was wrapped up except for her eyes. I was terrified. She stared at me. I didn't know who she was.

I was previously detained in Division Five. Once on my way to the toilet I saw several doctors covering a practitioner's mouth so she wouldn't be able to shout out. Afterwards I was told that she refused to be "reformed" and jumped out of a building and injured herself. I don't know what happened to her after that.

Later on I was detained in Division Two, where I saw many practitioners who refused to be "reformed" suffering from torture. Ms. Sun Yuzhen believed shouted, "Dafa is good" every day. The prison guards tied her up beside the toilet room. She wore only a thin shirt. Her head was tied near a window. The cold north window blew on her head. Once a prison guard told me to go "reform" her. As soon as I saw her we hugged each other and cried. The prison guards said that they would not let me see such scenes in the future. Sun would rather have died than be "reformed." In the end she could barely get up. I don't know what happened to her after that.

Because she remained firm in her belief in Teacher and refused to be "reformed," she was detained in a dark room the entire time. She also could not get up anymore. I don't now what happened to her, either.

Wang Qing also refused to be "reformed." Again, I don't know her whereabouts.

There was another practitioner. I didn't know her name. She also refused to be "reformed" and held a hunger strike. She couldn't get up. I don't know where she is now.

Chen Aiyun also suffered from all kinds of tortures. The prison guards tied her up beside the toilet room to let the cold north wind blow on her. The guards poured water on the floor in winter. When her shoes were wet they would take them off and forced her to stand on the floor barefooted. She wore only thin clothes. My heart hurt seeing her suffering like that.

Wang Fuling refused to be "reformed." When she was unable to finish the job given to her in the class. The drug addict inmates would beat her brutally.

Zhang Wanxia refused to do the jobs given to her in class. The drug addict inmates beat her into unconsciousness. Th guards locked her inside a small storage place underneath the stairway. Hearing that, I cried in class and scolded those drug addicts. As a result, some "collaborators" reported me. The prison guards found me. I told them, "We're fellow practitioners. I felt hurt." Zhang Wanxia could no longer stand the torture. I found some opportunities to talk to her, "You have to continue to live." She said, "OK." From then on, she managed to endure the torture.

Wangcun Women's Labour Camp officials also tortured practitioners by forcing them to continue working for 18 hours a day, from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Practitioners were mentally and physically devastated.
