The Qianjin Forced Labour Camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province Hides Continuing Persecution of Dafa Practitioners

To cover up Chinese Communist Party crimes and to mislead domestic and world opinion, the infamous Wanjia Forced Labour Camp is transferring imprisoned Dafa practitioners to the Qianjin Forced Labour Camp, also near Harbin.

A head guard, Zhang Bo, brings to the Qianjin Forced Labour Camp the same methods used to persecute Dafa practitioners in the Wanjia Forced Labour Camp. Zhang incites guards Yang Guohong, Lin, and Chang Shumei to force practitioners to pack and load vehicles everyday, and to work for more than fifteen hours daily. It is said that they are packing export products and the agent is Yu Keqiang, whose vehicle plate number is HF7428. One item they are forced to pack is used inside the mouth to clean the teeth. There is no guarantee of sanitation since there is no sterilisation equipment.

On the surface, the Qianjin Forced Labour Camp looks clean, quiet and tastefully laid out. When inspectors or practitioners' families are scheduled to visit the camp, practitioners are not working. The imprisoned practitioners are eating normal food, even seasoned with oil. But in fact, the methods of persecution have not changed. Guards force practitioners to perform hard labour for fifteen to twenty hours per day. Even on a day when visitors examine the camp, the prisoners have to start to work immediately after the examination. The drops of oil on their food are from the guards' leftovers poured into the practitioners' food.

Guard Zhang Bo colludes with guards in the Qianjin Forced Labour Camp and brings to Qianjin the persecution methods used in the Wanjia Forced Labour Camp. Guards force practitioners to swear at Teacher [Teacher Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa] and Dafa every morning. They incite criminal prisoners to persecute Dafa practitioners. They also force practitioners to slander Teacher and Dafa under oath. If a practitioner does not swear an oath or her voice is too low, the guards will try to force her to do so loudly. Otherwise, the prisoners will not be dismissed or not be allowed to sleep. Often all members of the group will be physically punished, including the criminals. The guards aim to create hatred in the criminals towards practitioners. It is fortunate that the criminals understand the truth and know that Dafa is good and practitioners are good. Most of them restrain themselves from bad deeds. They do not cooperate with instigation from the guards, and they criticise the guards' actions behind their back.

Before the Chinese New Year, guards forced Dafa practitioners to write letters to their families denying their mistreatment and persecution. Practitioners who did not write such a letter were not allowed to sleep, but most practitioners resisted writing such false letters.

The stories above are just a small part of the persecution that takes place in the Qianjin Forced Labour Camp. We hope that righteous and kind people inside and outside of China, especially Dafa practitioners' family members who have been deceived by lies, will see clearly the evil Communist regime. We hope that people will uphold justice, support kindness, and work to end the persecution.
