Urgent Appeal on Behalf of Practitioners Illegally Detained in Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp
2005-12-01
Practitioners Ms. Zhao Shuying and Ms Chen Aihong wrote a letter to the camp director to expose many camp team leaders' crimes. On July 22nd, 2005, the letter was found in Chen Aihong's bed by the police when they searched the cells. In retaliation, on September 14th, Li Xuejun came to Class 4, where Chen Aihong was detained, and suddenly struck Chen's head. It led Chen's heart disease to recur. In protest, Chen Aihong went on a hunger strike and requested a meeting with the camp director. Ms. Zhao Shuying also joined the hunger strike, but Li Xuejun did not allow them to see the director. Instead, he handcuffed them on September 16th and sent them to Gaoyang County Hospital for force-feeding. -
The Persecution I Suffered and Witnessed in Nanmusi Labour Camp in Sichuan Province
2005-11-30"The labour camp tramples practitioners like dirt. Practitioners are casually beaten to death or disability. Camp guards once goaded an inmate to beat a fifty-year-old female practitioner to death. This inmate assaulted the practitioner in a locked bathroom. The practitioner was taken out when she had only one breath left. The camp guard ordered me to get medicine from the clinic and said that the situation was very serious. I was told to go back to my cell when I returned with the medicine. No practitioners were allowed to leave their cells. Two hours later, two former practitioners carried away a stretcher. I never saw that female practitioner again. A few days later, an inmate told me that she died from the beating." -

My Personal Experience in Dabei Prison
2005-11-28"I was sentenced to three years in prison and sent to the Dabei Prison in Liaoning Province. The prison guards did not allow me to go to the toilet; many times I soiled my trousers. In the winter, they forced me to sit on the cement floor and tied me up with ropes every day. Whenever I cried out, male prisoners would beat me fiercely. They forced my mouth open and stuffed it with rags or with my own socks, which they had taken off my feet. Then they used bandages to gag me. They also pulled my hair to the point that much of it came out. Every day I was forced to endure hardships like these." -

The work includes, for example, cutting the ends of thread for clothing (local work from Wang Village), wiring the windings (local work from the electrical winding manufacturing station at Wang Village and a toy factory in Weihai City), and gluing glass vases and coloured glaze handiworks plated with silver (work from a handiwork exporting factory in Qingdao City).

2005-11-26"On November 22nd, 2004 at around 10:30 p.m., police barged into my shop and arrested my husband and mother-in-law, who was reading a Falun Dafa book.

Our family's finances are in bad shape. When the baby is sick, there is no one to help me." -
