A Forced Labour Camp Inmate: The Horrific Tortures Used on Falun Gong Practitioners in a Beijing Forced Labour Camp for Women
2005-10-04"I was sent to a forced labour camp because I was addicted to drugs.

Sometimes, in order to gain the approval of the division leader and obtain leniency and privileges for ourselves, we were driven to extremes, finding excuses to beat and insult the innocent practitioners.

The skin on her cheek came off with the tape when the sealing tape was pulled off. It was too brutal to watch. -
