• The Shijiazhuang First Detention Centre Processes Ephedra with Slave Labour and Pockets the Profits

  2004-04-30
  "Near the end of 2000, I was detained in the Shijiazhuang First Detention Centre because I refused to give up my belief in the Falun Dafa principle of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance." In the detention centre, Falun Dafa practitioners and other prisoners were forced to work as slaves. Our job was to process the naturally dried herbal medicine Ma Huang (Ephedra sinicia), also known as Chinese Ephedra. The dried herb is processed by pinching off the twigs with the thumb and forefinger. In a few days, the skin of one's forefinger becomes abraded, then the second finger has to be used instead, until eventually all one's fingers become raw and injured."
