Stories of Brutality in Panjin City Labour Camp

In May 2001, Panjin City Forced Labour Camp grouped all the Falun Gong practitioners into the Special Management Division to forcefully brainwash them. If the practitioners did not cooperate, they would be brutally beaten. When they saw slogans on the wall that insulted Falun Dafa and Teacher Li, some practitioners tore them down and ripped them into shreds. The police then brutally tortured them.

Under the direction of the deputy head of the labour camp, a group of vicious police used electric batons, police clubs, and rubber clubs to beat Dafa practitioners. One practitioner’s whole body was beaten black and blue; his internal organs were injured and he vomited blood. After his left eyeball was ruptured by cruel beating, he was hung up with his hands cuffed behind the back in an iron cage [with both hands cuffed behind the back, both feet off or only toes touching the ground, one is hung onto a basketball support or house beam with the handcuffs. Both hands and arms will quickly go numb. In addition, both hands will go limp from lack of blood circulation]

Ye Ximing, another practitioner, was bruised all over his body. His head and face swelled so much that even acquaintances could not recognize him. The vicious officers tortured him to an extremely severe condition, and also hung him up in an iron cage. After several days, Division Head Tang Xiaobiao used a pickaxe handle to strike Ye's buttocks fiercely, causing Ye to lose control of his bowels and bladder.

Practitioner Gao Dong's whole body was bruised. His eyes and nose were so disfigured from the beating that one could hardly recognize him. His entire face was deformed because of the swelling. After beating him, the ruthless police punished Gao by forcing him to hold his hands behind his head and bend over 90 degrees while standing in the hallway. The other practitioners were all tortured by the police because they tried to stop the violence. For a while, the entire corridor was filled with miserable cries.

There are many other practitioners who suffered similar brutalities

Guo Yanliang was brutally beaten because he refused to recite the assigned "teaching material," and also because he tried to stop the policeman from beating other Dafa practitioners. His whole body turned black and blue. He was cut and bruised all over, and due to the extreme torture, he fainted several times and vomited blood. Afterwards, Education Section Head Huang Jiukuan made a club out of a table leg, and continuously beat Guo for three more days and nights.

In June 2001, Penjin City Labour Camp illegally extended the imprisonment terms six months for five of the practitioners who survived the brutal persecution and remained steadfast in their belief in the principles of Falun Dafa [these principles are Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance].

In July 2001, eight practitioners were severely tortured by policemen because they publicly announced that their statements [renouncing or slandering Falun Dafa], which had been written under brutal torture, were invalid. When the police saw that neither brutal beating, nor torture could force the practitioners to give up their beliefs, they started long-term physical abuse of the practitioners. They forced the practitioners to stand in the corridor for as long as 20 hours while bent over 90 degrees with their hands tied behind their heads. Some practitioners finally fainted. They were then beaten and kicked by the common criminals who watched the practitioners. One practitioner’s whole body was burned by electric batons. He was continuously beaten, and suffered from other kinds of physical abuse for more than one month. When the electric baton did not have any more effect on Liu, they then used handcuffs to hang him up in an iron cage for 13 days and nights. Also hanging in the cage were another two practitioners, Liu Baoyi and Xin Minfeng, who were hung up in the cage for 11 days for tearing up posters that slandered Falun Dafa and Teacher Li. Because they hung there for such a long time, the handcuffs cut deep into their flesh, cutting all the way to the bone. During this period, the police only gave them broth with perhaps a few pieces of vegetables to eat.

Here we only exposed a very small fraction of the brutal torture conducted by Penjin City Labour Camp against Dafa practitioners. Because information has been strictly blocked, there are many other unknown facts waiting to be brought to light. Hopefully, those who know the facts will provide us with information in this regard. Together we will expose the crimes of Panjin City Labour Camp to the world.

If you are shocked and concerned by these terrible stories, and really wish to help, you may like to consider calling some of those vicious people responsible in China. It doesn’t matter if you do not speak Chinese. Just for them to hear the words “Falun Dafa” spoken by a Western voice will truly shock them, and make them think twice about their actions in future. A few may speak English. The Chinese for “Falun Dafa is Good” is “Falun Dafa Hao”
