The Communist Regime Turns a Kind Woman into a Ruthless Labour Camp Guard

2010-07-16

Li Jirong, as I knew, was a gentle and shy girl when she was young. She spoke little and was kind to everyone. How could she become an "evil guard?" I could not believe it. How could the communist regime turn a kind woman into a brutal, evildoing guard? The crimes attributed to her include: depriving Falun Gong practitioners of sleep, physical attacks, brutal beatings, electric shocks, tie-ups, and sexual assault of women practitioners. Li Jirong, a former teacher, was once a kind woman. Later on she followed her father and moved to Beijing. Because her father worked for the Beijing Municipal Administration of Forced Labour, she had the opportunity to become a police officer. As a division head, she was cruel in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.
