• Exposing the Forced Labour Situation at Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2012-09-25
  Forced labour is used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) labour camps to further punish, abuse, and torture Falun Gong practitioners and implement a long-term persecution of Falun Gong. People have to stand to pack mung beans. Some people do the weighing, some do the bagging, and others do the sealing and transportation. Since the mung bean bags are heavy, our arms are very sore at the end of the day with our waists and backs also in great pain. We are exhausted every day. For one batch of work, we may have to work from a few days to as long as two weeks. Packing dry tea is also a very tiring job. Prior to packing, several cartons of tealeaves are poured onto a large table. The dust from the tea gets onto people's clothes, skin, eyes, ears, mouths, and lungs, making one choke.
