After Six Years of Persecution, I Long to Reunite with My Parents

Partial Account of Illegal Persecution at the Xindian Women's Forced Labour Camp in Shanxi Province
2005-11-20The work in this camp included producing cigarette lighters. The Chinese Communist Party's police certainly enjoyed the profits. The practitioners, old or young had to get up as early as 5:00 a.m. and finally were permitted to sleep at midnight. Each day had a quota to be met, which the guards assigned at will and inevitably increased. If an inmate did not finish, the perpetrators would subtract points, extend her term, or even subject her to excruciating pain. After a while, many of their finger joints became swollen, distorted and curved. The most seriously hurt became disabled. -
