Ms. Gao Shuyu Arrested and Taken to Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp

Ms. Gao Shuyu, 54, is a Falun Gong practitioner and lives in the Haoyuan Community on Weixing Street in Changchun City. On the evening of April 22nd, 2008, the local police arrested her, ransacked her home, confiscated her child's computer, her notebook computer, an external DVD burner, and an inkjet printer.

Ms. Gao has been "sued" by the Chinese communist authorities in the Nanguan District Court on the main charge of "surrounding and attacking the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp" and browsing the Minghui website (The Chinese version of Clearwisdom).

The Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp of Changchun City colluded with the police departments and police stations of various cities of Jilin Province and provided the local police with the detailed information of practitioners who had been detained in the labour camp, especially those practitioners especially targeted for persecution by Chinese communist authorities. After getting the information, each police station would then send officers to practitioners' homes, harass them, and again arrest them.

Practitioner Ms. Gao Shuyu had been to the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp to visit practitioner Zhu Shuyun who had been detained since May 9th, 2007. In March 2008, Ms. Gao and practitioner Zhu Shuyun's younger sister went to visit practitioner Zhu, who had been tortured severely. However, the camp authorities would not allow them to see her, fearing her torture and sufferings would be exposed to the outside world.

In mid-March 2008, the camp authorities invited Ms. Gao and Ms. Zhu's younger sister for a visit. During the visitation, the camp authorities secretly videotaped the practitioners.

Afterwards, Ms. Gao's home and her activities were under police surveillance until she was arrested on April 22nd.

In the past nine years, the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp went nearly bankrupt once. However, the camp used the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners for financial gain from the the government and built more facilities and added more teams and divisions. The camp went from detaining over a hundred criminal offenders in the beginning to now detaining thousands of practitioners.

Practitioners are tortured both physically and mentally in the camp. According to incomplete statistics, there have been over ten practitioners who were tortured to death at this camp. They include Ms. Yin Shuyun from Changchun City, Ms. Xuan honggui from Meihekou City, Ms. Wang Kefei and Ms. Wang Yuhuan from Changchun City, Ms. Wang Xiulan from Jilin City, Ms. Cui Zhengshu from Jilin City, Ms. Zhang Yulan from Baishan City, Ms. Han Cuiyuan from Siping City, Ms. Hou Lijun from Changchun City, Ms. Guo Yaling from Yongji County, Ms. Wang Xiuyun from Huadian City. Additionally, many practitioners were tortured until they were disabled or mentally disordered.

To add more to the tragedies and sufferings, there has been a dramatic increase in persecution cases leading up to the Beijing Olympic Games, with several hundred practitioners having been arrested and detained. The Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp colludes with various police departments and stations throughout the province in the persecution of practitioners. The arrested practitioners are not always detained in the Heizuizi Labour Camp. The camp's systematic persecution of Falun Gong practitioners has infiltrated various aspects of society on a large scale. They have committed the most heinous crimes with the most evil intentions.
