Ms. Yue Chunhua is from Huayan Village, Shapingba, Chongqing. Her left hand has become handicapped due to long-term torture by guards at the Chongqing Women's Forced Labour Camp.

Yue Chunhua was detained at the Chongqing Shabao Women's Forced Labour Camp from April to May 2009. Guards then took her to the No. 324 Hospital for a physical examination. She was made to pay over 2,000 yuan¹ for the treatment. Even though no illness was found, she was nonetheless sent to Xishanping Hospital, where she was forcibly given injections and infusions. Finally, after Ms. Yue insisted that she would not cooperate, they had to send her back to the forced labour camp. For the entire summer of 2009, Ms. Yue spent her time under the open sky forced to do military style training such as keeping a squatting position, or other military positions. She was sunburned and her complexion became very dark.

In late 2009, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Chongqing Committee Secretary Bo Xilai started the so-called "breaking the ice" movement. Chongqing Women's Forced Labour Camp transferred officers Li Yong and Wang Cheng from Xishanping to assist in their evil deeds. Under the leadership of Captain Chen Yanyan, they set up a Crucial Team. Chen Xiaoqin was the team leader. Ren Feiyan, Tao Xin and four guards joined the Crucial Team. They instigated criminal inmates Ding Xia (criminal team leader), Chen Zhi, Chen Tingting, Wang Xiaoman, and others to monitor Ms. Yue Chunhua and to brutally torture her for three consecutive days.

At around midnight on the first night, Ms. Yue was brought to a room on the fourth floor. They beat her, kicked her and choked her, covering her mouth and nose. During this brutal persecution, Ms. Yue almost lost consciousness several times. With the instigation of the guards, the criminals took off Ms. Yue's clothes in the middle of this cold night. They removed her socks and stuffed them in her private part. They also wrote on her body some curse words slandering Falun Gong. They tortured Ms. Yue for over two hours. After she was brought back to her cell, they did not allow her to close her eyes. Then in the morning at around 4:00 a.m., they forced her to get up.

On the second day, in the afternoon, when there was no one in rooms 2-7 on the third floor, those criminal inmates once again began beating Ms. Yue by kicking her and pouring water into her ears, eyes, and mouth. Ding Xia and Chen Zhi led two other criminals to pour the water down Ms. Yue's collar. On that cold winter afternoon, Ms. Yue's whole body was soaked. The criminals then pushed her to the floor, using her body like a mop to absorb the water on the floor.

On the afternoon of the third day, Ding Xia, the criminal team leader, and criminals Chen Zhi, Chen Tingting, Wang Xiaoman and others once again saw that there wasn't anyone in rooms 2-7 on the third floor, and they began to brutally beat Ms. Yue Chunhua again. They poured running water into her ears, eyes, mouth, and collar. Afterwards they repeated their action of using her body like a mop on the floor.

Tao Xin and Ren Feiyan also slapped Ms. Yue in the face. She was not allowed to close her eyes to sleep for one week.

From 2009 to 2010, a total of 150 Falun Gong practitioners have been detained at Chongqing Women's Forced Labour Camp and tortured. Most of them are in their 60s and 70s. Due to the long periods of both physical and mental torture, and the length of time spent in standing or squatting positions, most of them have symptoms of severe illnesses. In particular, a large number are suffering from high blood pressure.
