Torture

• Mr. Cheng Huazheng's Life in Danger in Zhongba Forced Labour Camp in Guizhou Province

  2007-05-28
  In order to "transform" Falun Dafa practitioners, the guards in the Zhongba Forced Labour Camp torture them inhumanly by forcing them to do things such as stand without clothes in the winter, run great distances while wearing heavy coats in the summer, or stand for days on end when deprived of the right to sleep. They have also done things like pouring icy cold water on them in the winter, burning their faces by pouring boiling water over them, beating them brutally, and forcing them to sniff heroin. The guards openly said, "It is nothing to kill several, we have a quota of practitioners we are allowed to kill." Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Cheng Huazheng's life is in danger due to torture he suffered.

• Endless Nightmare: My Experience at the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2007-05-28
  I was abducted by local authorities in 2001 because I had been distributing leaflets exposing the persecution. I was later imprisoned in the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp for a year and a half. Whenever I recall those days at the labour camp, it's as if reliving a nightmare for me. More than twenty of us were locked in one room of thirteen or fourteen square metres. It was the same room in which we made disposable chopsticks during the day, for one-time use at restaurants. The guards set heavy workloads for everyone, so those who were elderly or slower than others would have to work until three o'clock in the morning. The guards also ordered drug addict inmates to torture Dafa practitioners. Some inmates tore at practitioner's mouths until they bled, others stuck wooden sticks into practitioners' private parts.
