Changchun Hezhuzhi Labour Camp Uses Forced Labour as a Means to Torture Dafa Practitioners

According to inside information, Hezhuzhi Women's Labour Camp located at Weixing road, Changchun City, Jilin Province, forces Dafa practitioners to make products as a means to persecute them. They force practitioners to make butterflies with feathers. The products are exported to Asia, Europe, America and Australia. The products are tainted with Dafa practitioners' blood and tears.

Hezhuzhi Woman's Labour Camp forces the practitioners to get up at 5:30 a.m., go to work right after breakfast and work until 8:00 p.m. They are forced to work for nearly 13 hours a day. Because there are 200 to 300 practitioners that need to eat in a certain time period, the majority are not able to get enough food. The labour time is long and intense. Everyone is forced to work like a machine. Because things are done manually, the practitioners are very close to the product and the materials. There are feathers floating in the air everywhere. The material is absorbed into the lungs and damages their health. The poisonous fumes given off from the glue make it difficult to breathe and are damaging to their health. It is devastating to each one's life.

The new building is decorated to look very attractive. However, the monitor room is totally different. There are 12 bunk beds in each room and it is quite crowded. The heat to warm the room is not provided until the middle of December and even then the heat is very limited and the room temperature remains very low.

For those that are detained in the No.7 group, other than the "helpers" and the "personal cangues" (persons designated to supervise practitioners' behaviour) the rest are all practitioners. The majority of them are practitioners who resist "transformation¹." Every moment is used to try to brainwash these practitioners. They force the practitioners to review and listen to materials that defame Falun Dafa. They torture them both physically and spiritually, especially those who are firm in their belief. They take advantage of the "helpers" (the practitioners that are transformed or the forced labour personnel) as "personal cangues" to persecute the firm practitioners. The "personal cangues" follow practitioners all the time, do not allow them have any breaks, and curse and beat them as well. Even worse, the "helpers" often assist the prison authorities to cruelly torture the practitioners. In order to reach the goal of transforming the practitioners, they sometimes torture them to the point where they would rather die than go on living.
