• Call to Rescue My Mother Ms. Chen Zhenping

  2009-09-23
  My mother, Ms. Chen Zhenping, was sent to the Zhengzhou City Detention Centre. The practitioners there were forced to do 15 hours of forced labour daily, and they were forbidden from talking or using the toilet during that period. They usually held one position for more than ten hours, and were forced to make 2,000 to 3,000 lighters per capita every day. Many people's hands peeled layer by layer, which brought them burning pain at night. Some criminal offenders couldn't tolerate the hard labour, and committed suicide. Although my mother was already in her later fifties, she had to finish 3,000 lighters every day, the same quota as the younger detainees.
