Torture

• Exposing the Unsanitary Conditions of the Food Packing Processes at the Shanxi Province Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2007-01-30
  In the camp, the guards use extremely cruel methods to "reform" and persecute the Falun Gong practitioners who firmly believe in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." They instigate the drug addict inmates to monitor the practitioners all day. They brutally beat the practitioners and frequently don’t allow the practitioners to go to the toilet or have any rest for 24 hours. The camp is well aware that some of the practitioners have various female diseases and infectious diseases due to the long-term persecution. However, the camp still forces the practitioners to work overtime. The practitioners have to work over ten hours per day.

• Falun Dafa Practitioners in Hainan Province Subjected to Brutal Brainwashing

  2007-01-30
  "I was arrested and taken to a brainwashing class. Dafa practitioners were constantly beaten, insulted and deprived of sleep. Those who were tortured would keep going until they became absent-minded or lost consciousness. The policemen then took advantage of their confused state of mind to force them to sign the guarantee statement to renounce Falun Dafa. The policemen used all kinds of torture methods on practitioners. On five occasions, I suffered brutal abuse for more than forty days. They placed handcuffs and foot shackles on me most of the time. One time both of my hands and feet were handcuffed to the window bars for 24 hours, and my hands became completely bruised."

  2007-01-28
  The police from the labour camp often forced all detained Falun Gong practitioners to write a so-called "guarantee statement" to give up practising Falun Gong. If anybody refused to do so, they would torture her with many different methods. Once, Ms. Zhang Xuxia shouted "Falun Dafa is good" in the labour camp. She was taken to a garrison room and a female guard instructed a prison inmate to beat her badly. I saw her mouth bleeding and swollen after she came back. Falun Gong practitioners who refused to be "transformed" were forced to sleep on the cement floor and beaten black and blue.

I refused to read, so they verbally abused me and beat me. Each day spent in that Masanjia camp seemed like a year.
