• First-hand Account of Persecution Suffered in Wangcun Forced Labour Camp

  2010-05-10
  On July 31st, 2008, I was studying the Falun Gong teachings and sharing experiences with over a dozen fellow practitioners. When we opened the door, over a dozen plainclothes policemen rushed in and arrested us. On August 30th, seven of us were sent to Wangcun Forced Labour Camp. Because I would not renounce practising Falun Gong I was handcuffed to the window bars of a toilet, both of my arms forced straight. They threatened me with solitary confinement if I refused to listen to them. The next day, I could not lift my left arm, and my hands were painful and numb. They only opened one handcuff for me to eat or use the toilet. After about four days, I felt dizzy and both of my arms hurt a lot. Since May 2009, we have been forced to do hard labour for long hours, for 14 or 15 hours a day on average.
