• The Persecution of Female Practitioners in the Re-education Deployment Department of Beijing

  2008-12-07
  The Eleventh Division of the Beijing Labour Camp Dispatch Centre was created specifically for detaining and persecuting female Falun Gong practitioners. The "transformation" process is in fact a destruction of human conscience. Their goal is to force practitioners to go against their wills and sign the so-called three statements, promising to give up the practice and betraying their conscience. These people use great pressure to persecute practitioners. Practitioners are forced to watch videos or read books designed to defame Falun Gong. After they finish, they have to write their "understandings" of Falun Gong. Their "understandings" must meet the requirements set by the captain. At the end of the two-month session, practitioners are forced to make speeches which are over ten pages long to "expose and criticize" Falun Gong.

In this way, the whole body is immobilized, with only the head and neck being able to move a little. The practitioners are also not allowed to get up to relieve themselves.
