The Inhumanity of Shizishan Drug-Rehabilitation Labour Camp

The methods used by the guards at the Shizishan Drug Rehabilitation Forced Labor Camp, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, to persecute practitioners is malevolent and vicious. They ordered three drug addicts to monitor and torture one practitioner. At the noon break they forced practitioners to submit to the torture called "Glued to the Wall." "Glued to the Wall," means the victim has to stand very straight against the wall. They put paper between practitioner's head and wall, between their hands and body and between their legs. If the paper falls down, the drug addicts will kick and punch the practitioners. Another way to punish practitioners is called "Military Training." The practitioners were forced to stand on one foot in the burning sun, while the other foot was lifted with the tiptoe tightly stretched. The practitioners had to keep this position for a long time. It is also called "goose step." If a practitioner could not bear it, he would suffer from brutal beatings. Several practitioners could not walk due to this inhuman torture and finally they were released because they were considered cripples.

In April 2000, some practitioners from Macheng County firmly resisted the vicious forces by refusing to wear the badges labelled "Strictly Monitored." The officials in the detention centre ordered the guards who brutally beat practitioners to lock practitioners up in a dark room, one after another. They shocked the practitioners with electric batons. Practitioner's faces and legs were covered with blood. These mobsters even wouldn't have mercy on the elderly people in their 50s or 60s. Relatives of practitioners were not allowed to visit them. Even if someone was allowed to visit, the practitioner was not allowed to talk. These thugs beat one male practitioner so hard that he lost consciousness. The guards threw him into solitary confinement or left him outside in the freezing weather, without providing him with any food. They did not allow practitioners to sleep and attempted to destroy practitioners' will with these brutal tactics.
