The Horrific Torture in Jiutai Labour Camp Defies Humanity

Jilin Province's Jiutai Labour Camp holds more than three hundred Falun Dafa practitioners illegally sentenced to forced labour for refusing to renounce the practice of Falun Dafa. On March 22, 2002, the labour camp authorities started to make all Falun Dafa practitioners undergo compulsory "transformation." Each division within the camp undertook secret actions.

The details of what Division No. 1 did are as follows: Practitioners were interrogated in turn and were tortured if they did not give in. Each day, many practitioners suffered severe torture. Afterwards, they were sent to the No. 4 cell for "strict monitoring." Those who had undergone severe mistreatment were finally sent back to their cells. They had to walk down long corridors and pass by all the other prisoners' cells. The police were afraid that their criminal ways would be exposed, so the police would shout loudly, "Hang up the curtains on all the cells!" before those who had been brutally tortured were sent through the long corridors. Although they could not be seen, everyone could feel that the badly beaten practitioners used powerful righteousness and staunch faith to stand up to the cruel persecution. The door curtains could block eyes from seeing the beaten practitioners, but they could not hide the steadfast faith of the Falun Dafa practitioners. The criminal ways of the police persecuting practitioners will ultimately become plainly known to the whole world.

To coerce practitioners to give in, the police stripped them of their clothes and held them down against the floor. The floor was covered with a plastic tarp. In order to increase the shocking force of their electric batons, the police poured cold water onto the tarp. Although they were brutally attacked, the practitioners did not retaliate. The police used electric batons to shock the sensitive parts of each practitioner. They also used leather belts dipped in cold water to viciously whip staunch practitioners.

Yet even in this way, they could not achieve their goal of coercing Falun Dafa practitioners into succumbing. So they contrived even more vicious methods. They pressed the sharp, broken ends of thick PVC pipes against the body of practitioners. They then twisted and turned the pipes, so that the broken ends would tear open the flesh and skin. They then dabbed toothbrushes in salt and brushed them against the wounds that were pulpy with blood and flesh all mashed up together. After that, they twisted the PVC pipes over the wounds again.

Some practitioners faced such cruelty every single day. Every day there were practitioners being interrogated, and every day there were practitioners injured and bleeding. Each interrogation, to practitioners, was a time when they did not know if they would survive or die. This persisted until April 19. On this day, police of the "Education Team" beat a practitioner who had just arrived in the camp to death.

Cases of persecution:

Police took Falun Dafa practitioner Huang Yuedong to the interrogation room. A few people held him against the bed, and handcuffed and shackled his hands and feet. They used a hacksaw to cut the ends of a hard and thick PVC pipe into the shape of a cross, then they used this torture device to drill into his armpits, groin and chest. After bare bleeding flesh was exposed, the police sprinkled salt and used a toothbrush to work the salt into the wounds and electric batons to shock him. When the police shocked practitioners, they purposely looked for sensitive places such as the face, chest, genitals, armpits etc. Huang had a big chunk of his flesh cut away by the PVC pipes and then the wound rotted into a big gaping hole with the bones exposed. This sight was terrifying for all who saw. Even in this state, this Falun Dafa practitioner did not give in to the police.

The police imprisoned one practitioner named Yu Jianhua in a small cell because he protested against the evil deeds of the policemen. A vicious criminal beat him with a wooden stick under the instigation of the warden. The stick was broken but Mr. Yu still did not give in.

The above are only a few of many persecution cases, and only represent the tip of the iceberg. Because there is blockage of news from the labour camp, we are temporarily unable to reveal more about the state of affairs.
