Based on my three-year experience in the men's forced labour camp, I estimate that about one thousand Falun Dafa practitioners were detained there. During this time, I saw and experienced how Dafa practitioners opposed the illegal detention by various means. -

When Dafa practitioners answered questions, if they did not answer with the stipulated "standard" answers, the guards used the electric batons to threaten them to revise their answers. If one did not revise their answer, the guards would use electric batons to shock him or wooden bats to beat their abdomen and chest. -

The Atrocities Behind The Term "Civilized Management" at Tuanhe Labour Camp in Beijing

2004-07-21A civic-level forced labour camp insanely and inhumanely tortures Falun Gong practitioners in order to accumulate "achievements" so as to meet the upgrade criteria. This clearly demonstrates that under Jiang's policy to annihilate Falun Gong, brutally persecuting Falun Gong practitioners not only becomes a criterion for promotion for personnel in public security, procuratorial organs, people's court and judicatory organs, but also a criterion for the promotion in status for forced labour institutions. -
