• The Systematic Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at Beijing Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp

  Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp has adopted many hidden methods of persecution to use on practitioners who would not be “transformed” [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] and on those who openly, on the Internet, voided their “transformation” by declaring them null and void. Because he would not be “transformed,” Mr. Gao Changze was forced to sit on a small stool and was not allowed to use the toilet. He was put away in an isolated cell and suffered verbal abuse and brutal beatings and was not given any food.
