• The Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Xinhua Forced Labour Camp

  2010-09-20
  The first step in the "transformation" [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] process in Xinhua Forced Labour Camp was to have practitioners read books slandering Falun Gong. Then the guards would assign more personal monitors, apply more pressure, and pick on practitioners for small things. The personal monitors frequently abused practitioners, both verbally and physically. They beat them, claiming that they were "correcting their movements." The guards also beat practitioners without hesitation. They also reduced the practitioners' sleep time. They were forced to get up at 5 a.m. or sometimes 4 a.m. They were to do "military training" throughout the entire day: squats, push-ups, high leg lifts, and so on without any break.

Every day, as a form of torture, practitioners are forced to sit or stand completely still in a designated posture while being strictly monitored by prisoners.

If he or she moves twice, the sleeping time will be reduced twice, and so on. The prisoners often reduce practitioners' sleeping time regardless.
