Recently, two to three practitioners were taken to the Shijiazhuang City Forced Labour Camp each day. There are numerous reports of guards brutally tormenting the detainees.
Usually, visitors only need to bring documents provided by their local governments to verify their identities, but the guards here put a thick stack of slanderous flyers defaming the founder of Falun Gong by the entrance. Anyone that goes to visit Falun Gong practitioners is forced to read it out loud. If their voice is low, they have to repeat this several times until the guards are satisfied. After reading it, they have to sign their names on it before they are allowed in.
In recent years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has tried to portray progress in its human rights record and its legal system, especially in advance of the Olympics. However, the behaviour of the CCP authorities at the Shijiazhuang City Forced Labour Camp is contrary to both human rights and the rule of law.
The CCP's labour camp system tramples on human rights, publicly violates the Chinese Constitution, lacks any methods of independent monitoring and is a violent tool for suppressing kindhearted people.
