The Mistreatment I was Subjected to at the Anhui Women's Forced Labour Camp
2007-10-17The Anhui Women's Labour Camp forcibly brainwashes practitioners. The guards tried to force me to watch videos that slandered Falun Dafa, and when I resisted, the collaborators [former practitioners who assist in brainwashing and torturing practitioners] took me to the video area and tied me to a chair. The head of the labour camp also deprived me of sleep for long periods of time, waking me at 5:00 a.m. and not allowing me to go to bed until after midnight. He sent two inmates to watch me, did not allow me to talk to anyone. I later lost the sight in my right eye as a result of the physical abuse, and my blood pressure rose to 160/130.
