  2007-09-27
  Practitioners imprisoned in the Second Women's Forced Labour Camp are tortured and forced to perform hard labour. There are four brigades in the camp. The majority of people in these brigades are practitioners, and the rest are drug abusers and religious believers. The torture practitioners suffer is getting worse and the time to do slave labour is getting longer. Practitioners are forced to get up at 4 a.m. and begin to work at 5 a.m. until 10 p.m. But, sometimes they have to work until midnight or 1 a.m. The skin on practitioners' bottoms often ruptures and becomes infected because of sitting on hard stools. Cushions are not allowed. Guards will confiscate it and berate practitioners if they find one. The food is awful. Drug abusers don't eat that food. Slave labour has become more backbreaking, practitioners lack nutritious food and there are many practitioners who faint.

• The Brutal Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp in Sichuan Province

  2007-09-25
  Because we cultivate Falun Dafa and believe in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance," we were arrested by police and sentenced to forced labour. The guards always discussed how to make us suffer more. Under their instigation, drug offenders or prostitutes did their best to torture practitioners in order to decrease their prison terms. Their ruthlessness went to extremes. Innocent practitioners were tortured every day with beatings, being handcuffed with their arms behind their back, being hung up while handcuffed, shocked with electric batons, tied up with ropes, tortured with the "tiger bench", splashed with dirty water or excrement, being forced to stand for long hours, not allowed to go to the toilet, were deprived of sleep, not allowed to brush their teeth or wash their face, and so on.
