• The Torture I Endured in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

  2013-07-26
  I was arrested and subjected to forced labour three times from 2000 to 2009. Each time I was detained in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. In 2000, I was sent to Masanjia Forced Labour Camp for the first time. In order to “transform” [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] practitioners, the most vicious methods of torture were used. For newcomers, the guards first play propaganda videos full of lies that slandered Falun Gong. If that didn't work, the torture started: beatings, verbal abuse, electric shock, solitary confinement, handcuffing, and term extensions--all to make them give up their belief.

  2013-07-23
  After the persecution began in 1999, Mr. Luo Dongsheng used different ways to inform people that were deceived by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) about the truth of Falun Gong. Because of this, he was severely persecuted in 2011 in detention centres. Mr. Luo began a hunger strike to protest the brutal treatment in the detention centre and was force-fed. Four inmates pushed him down, while a guard grabbed Mr. Luo's hair and pulled his head back.
