Recent Crimes Committed by Lu Yaqin and Other Guards in Hebei Province Women's Forced Labour Camp

In Hebei Province Women's Forced Labor Camp, six practitioners (Zhao Ye, Zhang Ni, Feng Ruixue, Qi Junling, Liu Suran, and Lu Di) and another woman who appealed to the government were shocked with electric batons by Lu Yaqin on August 15th, 2011. Lu Yaqin is a guard from Division 3. Later, Ms. Ye was beaten by the head of Division 3, Liu Ziwei, with a large electric baton. That day, Ms. Ye's right hand became severely swollen, and afterward she had difficulty walking and going up or down stairs. Due to the damage to the radial nerve of her right arm, her thumb's muscle became atrophied and she couldn't hold chopsticks in her right hand while eating. For a long time, she requested to go to the hospital for medical treatment but she was always rejected.

Lu Yaqin used an electric baton to shock Ms. Feng Ruixue's head. Afterward, Ms. Feng was disoriented and couldn't recognise anyone. Ms. Qi Junling was also shocked with an electric baton and was also kept in a solitary cell for quite a long time. It was the hottest part of summer and was extremely hot in the solitary cell. Ms. Qi Junling, Ms. Zhang Guozhen, and Ms. Yang Zhiying were deprived of their right to make phone calls to their families.

On August 25th a brainwashing “transformation class” [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] was established on the fourth floor. It was run by 20 people reassigned from Divisions 2, 3, and 4, with two guards from each division were in charge of the class. Some of the guards known to run the class were: Hou Junmei, Ding Jiajia, Niu Li, and Wang Weiwei. Their goal was to transform 100% of the practitioners. Lu Yaqin was one of the initiators of this action. Falun Gong practitioners were forced to stand facing the wall as a form of torture, and were only allowed two hours of sleep. They were prohibited from going downstairs and their meals were brought by the detainees assigned to watch them. Several detainees from those divisions who formerly practised Falun Gong helped transform practitioners. Except for Ms. Chen Lixin and Ms. Feng Ruixue, more than twelve practitioners were forcibly transformed against their will. The “transformation class” was held until September 16th.

Lu Yaqin was in her 30's. She was thin and she said she once had many diseases. According to her, she had worked in several different forced labor camps and abused Falun Gong practitioners for a decade.
On August 15th, Lu Yaqin beat six practitioners and threatened everyone in Division 3, “Your labour production quota will be doubled. If you can't finish your work, you can't rest or sleep.” She threatened those practitioners who refused to sing the song required by the labour camp before meals and said, “My tolerance has a limit.” She arranged which people ate or stood with a single practitioner. At 4:30 in the morning, Ms. Zhao Ye was woken up to wash her face and brush her teeth. In the evening, she wasn't allowed to do so until everyone else finished. Practitioners were not allowed to talk or meet with each other while washing their faces, brushing their teeth, or using the toilet.

Lu Yaqin suddenly disappeared around August 23rd, and wasn't seen for a long time. Later, it was said that she had been in a car accident.

Throughout China's five thousand years, people have always acknowledged the heavenly principle that good begets good and evil begets evil. Since ancient times, countless historical facts have verified this principle. People should stop blindly following the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to harm innocent Falun Gong practitioners, and learn for themselves more about these kind people who live according to the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
