Inside the Labour Camps

• Two Elderly Ladies Tortured in Wanjia Forced Labour Camp in Harbin City

  2006-01-28
  Ms. Chen Guilan, 59, is in Wanjia Forced Labour Camp because she practises Falun Dafa. Prison guards also took her into the small, dark cell to torture her. They beat her while she was hanging up and while she was sitting on the iron chair. Her lower body was covered with dark bruises. The guards usually use electric batons to shock practitioners on their faces, hands, and elsewhere. Now they are shocking practitioners predominantly on their lower bodies so that others cannot easily detect the wounds, which are covered by the practitioners' clothes. They laugh right after beating practitioners.

• Experiences of an Older Practitioner in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

  2006-01-27
  "In the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp, I often saw and heard guards torturing steadfast practitioners and using obscenities to insult female practitioners. Female guard Zhang Qiurong often tortured practitioners. She also frequently found male guards to help her. They tied practitioner Ms. Chen in a spread-eagle fashion and tortured her. A guard pointed at Ms. Chen's private parts and said, "You are not even worth touching." Then he stepped on and kicked her insteps with his leather shoes, causing her feet to bleed."

• Authorities Viciously Torture Falun Gong Practitioners in Shandong Province No. 1 Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2006-01-24
  "I am a Falun Gong practitioner from Shandong Province. I have been unjustly imprisoned and seriously tortured by the guards. As soon as I arrived in the fifth group, Wang Suzhen hit my head with his fist, said angrily, "I really want to kick you to death," and threw all my belongings out the door, including my clothing, bed cover, toothbrush, and basin. It was in the summer and very hot. Wang Suzhen imprisoned several fellow practitioners and me in a small confined compartment. We were not allowed to wash our faces, brush our teeth, or change clothes. We were slapped if we talked. The dead skin of my emaciated body peeled off layer by layer."

• Exposure of Masanjia Forced Labour Camp's "Reform" Methods

  2006-01-23
  "Guards at the camp forbade us from doing the exercises; two criminals monitored us and beat us when we practised or recited Dafa. The guards also beat us using electric batons. When their electric batons did not work, they would replace them with high-voltage ones. We were forced to sit barefoot on the ground while two criminals stepped on our legs. The guards shocked us in the middle of the feet, face and neck. The smell of burned skin filled the air. After the beatings, my neck and half of my face looked like rhubarb from the shocks and dripped yellow fluid for days. Sometimes they shocked us and then asked if we would still practise."

• Recent Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Division 1 of the Second Women's Section of the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

  2006-01-22
  Force-feeding is one of the most brutal persecution methods used in Masanjia. The goal is not simply to administer food into the victim's stomach through a nasal tube, but to inflict great pain in an attempt to destroy the practitioner's will. Prior to the feeding, a few guards first strike the practitioner to the ground, pin her down, and cover her nose and mouth with plastic film until she has almost lost consciousness. Then the perpetrators make a hole in the film and insert a very thick feeding tube through the nostrils into the practitioner's stomach. The perpetrators swirl the tube around to inflict greater pain, until the practitioner has reached the limit of endurance. The guards and labour camp doctor want the practitioner to give up her belief and end the hunger strike.

  2006-01-20
  On the morning of April 5th, 2005, all practitioners detained in the Third and Fourth Sections of the Second Ward of Masanjia Forced Labour Camp took off their camp uniforms to declare that they were not criminals. On April 5th, 6th, and 7th, the cells were filled with the sounds of the guards beating practitioners and the practitioners' bitter screams. Some practitioners' heads and bodies were bleeding from being beaten with metal rods, and some practitioners had internal injuries.

• The Masanjia Labour Camp Brings in Male Guards to Persecute Women Falun Dafa Practitioners

  2006-01-18
  Whenever female practitioners shouted, "Falun Dafa is great!" the male guards and the female brigade head would pounce on them. Some of them beat the practitioners, some dragged them, some gagged them, and some handcuffed them. When the practitioners continued to shout, they taped their mouths shut, wrapping tape around the head in several layers. Sometimes they gagged practitioners with a towel; sometimes they handcuffed practitioners to heating pipes for different periods of time. Then they locked the practitioners in confinement cells.

• Exposing the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in the Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp

  2006-01-17
  The Falun Gong practitioners in the newcomer group were managed by several criminals designated by the guards. They were forced to take off all their clothes before the two hundred detainees, and their clothes and luggage were searched. The Falun Gong practitioners were also forced to admit to the crime of "disturbing social order." Otherwise, it resulted in them being tortured. The Falun Gong practitioners also would undergo torture until they were "transformed" as required by the designated criminals. The torture methods included: remaining in a standing position for long periods of time, "taking a shower," sitting on a bench for long periods of time, and squatting while facing a wall for long periods of time.

• Persecution Records from Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp and Beijing Women's Prison (Part 2)

  2006-01-16
  After the Chinese New Year, a new official came to my prison team. She told me her thoughts when she monitored me, "All these years, the higher authorities asked us to 'reform' practitioners. After many years, I realized that we should educate and save people, yet we are persecuting you. You are actually very outstanding. We found that once you give up the practice, it is as if your spirit is destroyed. Therefore, some kind police officers on our team do not want to 'transform' you. But because they did not cooperate with the requests from officials, they were transferred to other teams without Falun Gong practitioners. Those who remained are all vicious."

• Brainwashing at the "Legal Education Centre" in the Weiningying Forced Labour Camp

  2006-01-15
  The most critical brainwashing methods of the Centre are used. For example, the practitioners are forced to watch TV news, write "homework," take tests and recite 36 laws and regulations each day. They are also forced to watch a Dafa-slandering TV series and sing propaganda songs. Guards gave "law classes" that mostly slander Dafa. Zheng Tao wrote questions after the lecture for practitioners to take back to their room to discuss among themselves. Each practitioner is forced to give his standpoint, which is recorded by the completely brainwashed group head. The answers must conform to the brainwashing standards the Centre considers to be correct.

• Persecution at Beijing Women's Labour Camp and Beijing Women's Prison - Part 1

  2006-01-14
  Lawless officials in Beijing have been recruiting and mobilising police from different areas in China to go to Beijing to aid in the persecution of practitioners that travel there to expose the persecution about Falun Gong. The local guards invented inhuman and cruel methods of torture for practitioners that are steadfast in their beliefs. They categorised the secret and vicious torture of practitioners as "education," "reformation," and "salvation." Every practitioner who has ever been detained in the labour camp has suffered under these repugnant tortures.

• Changchun Hezhuzhi Labour Camp Uses Forced Labour as a Means to Torture Dafa Practitioners

  2006-01-14
  According to inside information, Hezhuzhi Women's Labour Camp in Changchun City forces Dafa practitioners to make products as a means to persecute them. They force practitioners to make butterflies with feathers. The practitioners have to get up at 5:30 a.m., go to work right after breakfast and work until 8:00 p.m. They are forced to work for nearly 13 hours a day. The poisonous fumes given off from the glue make it difficult to breathe and are damaging to their health. The products are exported to Asia, Europe, America and Australia and are tainted with Dafa practitioners' blood and tears.

• "The Same Song" of Demons and Collaborators

  2006-01-13
  "The Same Song", the show and the song, are wicked. It paints a peaceful picture for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime and is used as a tool by the evildoers to attack the spiritual side of Falun Gong practitioners. In labour camps, Falun Gong practitioners were forced to learn this song. Whenever a Falun Gong practitioner was transformed, the first thing he/she was forced to do was not to write any repentance or the pledge not to practise Falun Gong, but to sing this song together with former practitioners who had turned against Dafa, as well as the police.

• Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp: Practitioners Hung by the Wrists from Steel Wires that Cut to the Bone

  2006-01-12
  In April 2001, authorities at the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp attempted to violently "transform" all the Dafa practitioners in their custody. Practitioners were forced to stand on stools, wearing handcuffs and steel wire wrapped around their arms and secured to the ceiling, and then the stools were kicked out from under them. As they hung from the ceiling, the steel wires quickly cut into their arms to the bone, and blood flowed down the wire. If they still refused the so-called "transformation," the wardens would grab the practitioners and yank them downward with all their strength; many of the practitioners' arms were permanently damaged.
