• Atrocities at the Wanjia Forced Labour Camp in Harbin

  2011-07-14
  In 2001, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Ma Bingjuan was detained at Wanjia Forced Labour Camp in Harbin. She both witnessed and experienced the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) shockingly brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Ma Bingyuan stated that at that time, 800 detained Falun Gong practitioners had scabies on their bodies as a result of the persecution conditions. Prison doctors would take off practitioners' clothes and use a dull knife to scrap the scabies sores. That tragic condition and the pain from it is hard to describe using words.

• First-Hand Account of Persecution Suffered by a Practitioner from Chengdu City

• The Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Moganshan Women's Forced Labour Camp in Zhejiang Province

  2011-07-12
  New or steadfast practitioners are intensely brainwashed from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m in Moganshan Women's Forced Labour Camp. Videos denouncing Falun Gong are broadcast loudly and continuously. Materials written by some practitioners under intense pressure are also used to deceive other practitioners. Practitioners are ordered to read books denouncing Falun Gong. If they become sleepy, their sitting posture is not good, or they want to drink water or even need to use the toilet, they are insulted. Once a programme is broadcast or an article read, practitioners are forced to write their “understanding” of it. If many programmes have been broadcast, practitioners are forced to write an “understanding” of each one, or else points are deducted from them. Ten points deducted results in a one-day sentence extension.
