  • The Brutal Persecution at Fangqiang Forced Labour Camp in Jiangsu Province

    When a practitioner enters a forced labour camp, personnel who received a higher education are assigned to mislead them. This might include forcing them to watch movies with a lot of Falun Dafa slandering material. The goal is always to "transform" the practitioner in a short time. If practitioners are not "transformed," the forced labour personnel resort to physical abuse, like using a shoe to slap him/her, brutal beatings, the use of wooden planks to smash practitioners’ hands and fingers on a stool, forcing him/her to stand against the wall while others repeatedly kick his/her head, chest/breasts, legs and private parts. If the practitioner still refuses to be "transformed," then toilet use is restricted. He/she would not be allowed to go to the toilet for long periods of time. Practitioners would be forced to urinate in their clothing and suffer in agony.
