Practitioners Wrongly Held in Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp Demand Unconditional Release
2008-01-11My name is Zhang Shengjie. I'm 59 years old and from Harbin City. I was arrested on November 1st, 2005, and sentenced to three years of forced labour. I have been detained in the Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp for over two years. I have talked to the division head and explained that Falun Gong practitioners are all good people. The response I got was that all practitioners in detention are required to be "transformed." I cannot understand into what kind of people the CCP wants the practitioners to be "transformed." In such a society with low moral standards, and where money is above all, practitioners follow the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" to purify their minds and gain good health, and to further improve the moral standards in the society. -

In fact, this was just an excuse. The truth is that, with the year end approaching, they wanted to extort some money.

Then they transfer you to the activity room from midnight to 2:00 a.m. If you are still not "transformed," you have to stand all day until midnight and then sit from midnight to 3:00 a.m. If you still are not "transformed," you will have to stand all day until midnight and then sit from midnight until 4:00 a.m. If you are still not "transformed," they will not let you sleep.
