• Graduate Student Exposes Crimes and Torture at the Beijing Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp

  2013-03-15
  I was arrested in 2006 and was taken to the Changping Brainwashing Centre. Staff attempted to transform [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] me by forcing me to watch videos which slandered Falun Gong. On May 14th, 2007, officials decided to take me to the Beijing Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp. I didn't cooperate, so they stripped me, shocked me with electric batons, dragged me to a police car and then took me to the forced labour camp. Guards ordered the prisoners to subject me to sleep deprivation, allowing only 2-3 hours of sleep a day. One prisoner tied threads to my eyebrows, then pulled them off. He eventually pulled all the hair off my eyebrows.
