• Crimes Committed in the Second Forced Labour Camp in Shandong Province

  2007-04-27
  All practitioners sent to the camp are first subjected to forced brainwashing. The police guards force practitioners to watch videos slandering Dafa in an attempt to influence practitioners to give up their belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" and to write the so-called "guarantee statements" to renounce their belief. If practitioners refuse to cooperate, the police immediately exploit a variety of torture methods. They beat practitioners fiercely, force-feed them, hammer bamboo sticks under their fingernails, hang them in the "cross" position, put them on the death bed, deprive them of sleep, and pinch their flesh using metal clamps. The police invented the "metal clamp pinching" torture method on their own. I have personally witnessed how this cruel method caused practitioners excruciating pain.
