A Call For Help From a Detainee at Masanjia Labour Camp

My name is Wang Haiying and I am 31 years old. I lived in Shahe District, Dalian City of Liaoning Province. I was kidnapped and I am now being detained in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp.

In January 2001, I was detained with 13 other Falun Gong practitioners in the Dalian Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province. Thirteen of us from in this group were beaten up. The guards used different methods of torture including, 1) Have a group of approximately 8 male team leaders beat practitioners one by one. Some Dafa practitioners fainted from the torture. 2) I was handcuffed, hung from the upper bunk (more than a year later the scars from the handcuffs remain). 3) A few guards surrounded me, one used an electric baton to shock my mouth, one hit my legs and buttocks with wooden clubs, and the other beat me on my face trying to force me to give up practicing Falun Gong. In March, the guards forced some of us to bend over, keeping our legs together and straight, trying to force us to sign repentance letters. This tortured us both mentally and physically. The persecutors consisted of the team leader Yong, Gao, Sun and Sui, Wang Jun (junior), Wang Jun (senior) from Dalian Forced Labour Camp.

While I was detained at the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp, I wrote many letters to my husband who was being detained in Dalian Forced Labour Camp. He never wrote back. Later on, he told me that he had not received the first few letters (about 7-8 of them) since the captain had kept them.

It has caused many difficulties for my family because both my husband and I are being illegally detained in forced labour camps. Our child is only 4 years old, and my mother-in-law is very ill, so my sister-in-law is now taking care of my child.

Therefore I am calling for help from all kind-hearted people in the world to join together to stop the persecution together.
