My Experience in Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Jilin Province
2010-12-08
In September 2001, while I was handing out materials about Falun Gong I was arrested. I was sentenced to one year of forced labour in Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Jilin Province. Two employees attempted to brainwash me against Falun Gong. I started a hunger strike to protest the persecution. The prison guards yelled at me and I was physically abused. They slapped me on the face and made me stand in a corner. My forehead and back of my head swelled up with lumps. They put me on the death bed and force-fed me twice daily. After I was released, my husband divorced me because the pressure and fear was too much. I was also fired from my job, which made my life even harder. -
