Witness to the Persecution at Judong Women's Forced Labour Camp in Jiangsu Province
2005-11-02
In May 2002, I was sent to Judong Women's Forced Labour Camp in Jiangsu Province. I witnessed many vicious and brutal persecution methods inflicted on Falun Gong practitioners. At that time, almost all Falun Gong practitioners who were sent to the labour camp had been beaten by electronic batons. Some of them instantly lost the control of their bladders. A guard once inserted a baton into a female practitioner's private parts, which caused great damage. -
