Over 40 Practitioners Being Persecuted in Xindian Women's Forced Labour Camp in Taiyuan City

There are currently more then 40 Falun Gong practitioners still being detained in Xindian Women's Forced Labour Camp in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. Most of them are in their 50s. They are being detained in the No. 3 Division and are managed by division heads Liu Zhongmei and Lei Hongzhen. Some of the practitioners were made to do forced labour while others were locked in the monitoring room for compulsory brainwashing.

For those practitioners who were steadfast and refused to be "reformed¹," the No. 3 Division separated them from the rest of the practitioners and ordered criminal inmates to monitor them. These criminals, especially Feng Hongmei, Zhou Jian, and Yuan Hong, closely followed the instructions of the Division head. They set times for practitioners to go the toilet and bathe. If there was anything that they were unhappy with, they verbally abused the practitioners. The practitioners were not allowed to speak to one another. The second one practitioner spoke to another, she was beaten and berated. At night, practitioners were forbidden to sleep.

In late August, the police instigated the criminal inmates to beat the practitioners. If the practitioners were not obedient, they were locked up, handcuffed, and subjected to various tortures. They were threatened that their terms of imprisonment in the forced labour camp would be extended.

Practitioner Ms. Xin Enhao refused to be manipulated by the guards and was locked up. She was shocked with electric batons and beaten by the guards. The criminals also verbally and physically abused her. She was forbidden to sleep at night and was also dragged to the dog's den and handcuffed there for a day. She suffered inhumane torture.
