Ms. Wan Xiaohui's Account of Her Persecution at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp
2011-11-03
I was taken to the eastern sector of the labour camp every day in mid-May, 2010. They tried to brainwash me by filling my mind with propaganda and telling me lies about Falun Gong. I was thrown into a cell and forced to listen to audio recordings defaming Falun Gong on an mp3 player. In late October 2010, the guards at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp began a new round of persecution. One morning in November, I was taken to the eastern sector, where they continued to bombard me with lies and propaganda. They used all sorts of ways to try to brainwash me. I was beaten, shouted at, forced to sit on a cold floor, and to kneel down for long periods of time. They also poured boiling water onto my neck. -
