Falun Gong Practitioners Brutally Persecuted at Tailai Prison in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province
2007-05-04
Since 2003, the prison has had a rule that all practitioners must renounce Falun Dafa within three months. For each practitioner who refuses to renounce Falun Dafa, the head of the ward will have 1,000 yuan deducted from his/her salary. Likewise, for each practitioner who renounces Falun Dafa, the head of the ward receives a bonus of 1,000 yuan. In addition to renouncing Falun Dafa, the practitioner has to write a statement and pledge not to practise the exercises in prison. Since the practitioners refused to cooperate with the unreasonable demands of the authorities, such as taking part in forced labour, or studying and reciting the prison rules, many of them were beaten. -
The Crimes Committed against Practitioners at Zhejiang Provincial Women's Prison
2007-05-04A variety of products are manufactured at the prison. Most of them don't require much skill to produce. Such products include apparel, sweaters, rubber gloves, umbrellas, disposable chopsticks, spools of thread, toothpicks, decorative Chinese knots, etc. This type of labour is repetitive and time-consuming. Because huge quantities are required, one's hands and feet have to be swift in order to make them. Some inmates have suffered mental collapse due to long-term forced slave labour, and exhibit such symptoms as lethargy, seizures, uncontrolled yelling or rage. The so-called high-grade chopsticks and toothpicks are packaged under poor hygienic conditions, often by bare-handed inmates who have infectious diseases. (National food hygiene laws do not apply to prisons and detention centres in China.) -
