Violence and Lies in the Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp

Among the three teams that illegally imprison Dafa practitioners at the Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp in Beijing, the third team is the most evil, as they tell many lies and administer severe physical punishment. However, most people who were deceived by the lies are gradually awakening to the truth. At present, 80% of the detainees are still steadfast. Only some collaborators [Former practitioners who have turned against Dafa under immense pressure in the form of brainwashing and torture] are still doing bad things against Falun Dafa. Because of instigation by the team head, they are increasingly rampant and have become the main force of the so-called "helpers" [People who attempt to force Dafa practitioners to give up their belief in Dafa].

In spite of this, many practitioners at this forced labour camp have completely rescinded statements they wrote to denounce Falun Gong against their will. Dafa practitioners with righteous thoughts and deeds are withstanding the suffering not only for themselves but also for others.

In dealing with these determined practitioners, the four team heads Yin Da, Bai Zhongyin, Zhao Jiang, and He X collaborate with each other, using various tactics. Some put on a hypocritical face, while others directly torture practitioners. They brainwash practitioners day and night using various means such as:

1. Sleep deprivation: they do not allow practitioners to sleep for twenty-four hour periods.
2. Order practitioners to do dirty, heavy labour.
3. Physical punishment: One team head is the so-called pushing cart, which means he holds a practitioner's feet and forces the practitioner to walk in a demeaning position with his hands. In addition, there are various other means, such as not allowing practitioners to buy anything. Practitioners are not even allowed to give coats to others who do not have winter clothes. In sharp contrast, the collaborators can eat and drink at will and can do whatever they wish.

The third team often administers physical punishment to determined practitioners for extended periods, in an attempt to threaten those practitioners who have become increasingly clear-headed. The team heads often torture practitioners on the football field, south of the east building, in front of the whole team. Sometimes they beat and curse practitioners while at other times they hold practitioners' feet on their shoulders and force practitioners to crawl with both hands supporting the weight of their whole body, completely upside down.

A few collaborators on the third team have fabricated many ridiculous lies as excuses for their shameful behaviour, and to defend the cruel torture of the evildoers. Nevertheless, they themselves are victims of the forced brainwashing at the labour camp. What is even sadder is that they have become accomplices of the evildoers.
