  • Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at Qiqihar Forced Labour Camp in Heilongjiang Province

    I was arrested by officers from my local police station in the end of 2004 and was sent to the Qiqihar Forced Labour Camp. The practitioners who refused to be "transformed" were all forced to do the dirtiest and heaviest work. The labour camp forced me to package pesticide in the agricultural chemical factory. The strong pesticide smell in the air made it hard to breathe and caused my abdomen to swell. The work the labour camp assigned to us was hard to finish. Guards arbitrarily increased our workload and they inspected the practitioners' work very strictly. The labour camp also forced us to work in the corn-processing factory which caused our hands to become swollen. If we stopped to rest for a while, the officials yelled at us.
