  • How the Xinhua Forced Labour Camp in Sichuan Province Ferociously Persecutes Falun Gong Practitioners

    In the labour camp, the prisoners have to take written exams. To find excuses to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, the camp police intentionally put questions that attacked Falun Gong. If the practitioners refused to take the written exams or did not "pass" the exams, they were sent to the strictly disciplined squadron or got their labour camp terms extended. Guards pierced their faces and necks with iron nails and ballpoint pen tips, forced them to kneel down on chairs, spit on them, slapped their faces, kicked them, and burnt their skin with lit cigarettes. Ironically, the labour camp's walls are covered with slogans stating that no physical punishments are allowed and a "humanitarian" environment is created.
