Crimes in Changlinzi Labour Camp

Under secret orders from the "610 Office," [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems] the Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp authorities have continuously escalated their persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners.

1.On the afternoon of March 7, in No. 1 team alone, seven Dafa practitioners were hung up by their handcuffed hands and afterwards were sent to solitary cells for confinement. Recently, many other Dafa practitioners were also tortured this way and were not released from solitary confinement even many days later.

2.The guards viciously tortured Dafa practitioners because they refused to give up their practice. Several persons brutally and repeatedly tortured a practitioner called Ma Yongqian. His eyes, face, legs, and chest were swollen for many days. His legs were bleeding. His chest was so painful that he was unable even to sleep for many days. A group of people, including Labour Camp Director Shi, dragged him into an office where the guards kept torturing him until he passed out. His arms and legs were tied to the legs of different beds so that he had to lie down on the concrete floor with his limbs stretched out, spread eagle position. In the late afternoon he was dragged back to a solitary cell and shackled to an iron cage. A practitioner named Yun Fuqi suffered one broken rib, while some other Dafa practitioners lost their teeth during the torture. Some practitioners asked the guards why they beat the practitioners. One of the guards viciously claimed, "This is special punishment for Falun Gong. If you are beaten to death, [as my punishment] I would, at the most, be transferred to another unit."

3.The guards in No. 3 team intentionally put Dafa practitioners' belongings [clothes and bedding, etc.] in the [dirty and humid] toilet or washroom, letting the practitioners have them back only after they became soaked and filthy. They also forced the practitioners to sleep on the new building's cold and damp tile floor. In the early morning, they dragged the practitioners out of the cells and exposed them to freezing weather.

4.The guards coerced other inmates to insult the Dafa practitioners and forbid them from speaking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. The guards also incited the inmates to beat and scold the practitioners. The inmates who followed their orders were awarded with reductions in their labour camp terms, whereas those who disobeyed their orders were punished with increases in their terms, deprivation of food or confinement in solitary cells.
5.The corn gruel [food] given to the practitioners in the prison was usually black (mildewed), spoiled and sour, and oftentimes tainted with mouse droppings.

6.The guards often searched Dafa practitioners' bodies for no reason and confiscated any money they found. Food coupons, which were often found during the search, also became their personal property.

7.The guards forced visiting family members of Dafa practitioners to complete forms that cursed Dafa and Teacher Li; otherwise their visits were not permitted.
