Beijing Forced Labour Dispatch Office Conspires with Forced Labour Camp to Exploit Practitioners' Labour for Profit
2005-07-16
Because of long-term torture in a forced labour camp, practitioner Ms Wang Lei became mentally ill. On November 17 2004, almost eight months after she was released, police arrested her again and sent her to the Fangshan Detention Centre. During her hunger strike, the police continuously force-fed her. She was again sentenced, this time to two and a half years of forced labour, and sent to the Daxing Forced Labour Dispatch Office. The office knew that she had mental problems but still admitted her even though, according to the law, forced labour camps cannot accept people with mental problems. She was extremely weak, but the police still forced her to stay in the "sit on a bench" posture, with her hands on her knees, for 17 hours. In order to force her to write a "guarantee statement", the police appointed six criminals with drug-related convictions to beat, abuse, humiliate, and torture her. -
Twelve Falun Dafa Practitioners from Hubei, Liaoning, Sichuan, Hebei, and Other Provinces Died from the Persecution
2005-07-1670-year-old Mr. Li Huazi went to Beijing to appeal. Police arrested him on the way and locked him up in the Shijiazhuang Detention Centre. While there, he suffered a brutal torture: the police hammered a row of nails into a wooden block, with the nails protruding one or two centimetres. They then punctured Mr. Li's palms with the wooden block. Later, Mr. Li was transferred back to Hanchuan City and sentenced to one year of forced labour. Mr. Li again suffered savage torture, which resulted in him becoming extremely weak. He suffered oedema and asthma. In spite of this, when his term was over, they still didn't set him free. Mr. Li thus underwent a hunger strike and was released in December 2001. Since then his health deteriorated steadily, and Mr. Li passed away on May 26, 2005. -
The Epoch Times: A "610" Office Insider Exposes What Goes On In China's Labour Camps
2005-07-16Initially, the Public Security and police, but not the judiciary, were involved in the persecution of Falun Gong. That changed when the detention centres and jails could not hold all the people. At that time, I was the Chinese Communist Parties Committee Deputy Secretary for Shenyang and in charge of this area, so they came to me and requested that I open a forced labour camp to detain Falun Gong practitioners. Originally, the four camps in Shenyang had never imprisoned females, who would be sent to the provincial labour camp or prisons; but this time I was asked to imprison female Falun Gong practitioners. -

The Persecution of Ms. Ta Yueping
2005-07-15Ms. Ta Yueping, who is in her 40s, was honest and friendly to everyone, so her boss really respected her. Her boss trusted her very much, allowing her to manage the store key and money. Through firmly believing in Falun Dafa and seeing the maliciousness of the evil persecution, she did all that she could to tell people the truth about Falun Dafa and expose the Chinese Communist Party's deception. 610 Office personnel and policemen continuously threatened and bothered Yueping. They pressured her boss and threatened her family members, giving Yueping much stress. Policemen abducted Yueping three times, taking her to brainwashing classes to persecute her. In addition, 610 Office personnel persecuted Yueping's family members by freezing bank accounts, tapping phone lines, and sending spies. In this scheme of total persecution, Yueping's husband was even forced to divorce her. In April of 2004, Yueping was arrested again. The police fabricated a crime and sentenced her to 10 years in prison. She is currently detained at the Guangzhou Women's Prison. -

Falun Gong Practitioners Subjected to Injections of Nerve-Damaging Drugs
2005-07-14Injecting unknown drugs into practitioners is one of the base means that the Communist Party has adopted to persecute Falun Gong practitioners so as to force them to give up practising Falun Dafa. One practitioner who was injected with such drugs described the experience this way: "After I woke up, I felt inescapable and indescribable fear. Every face I saw was distorted and looked like a ghost. I felt that I was in hell and my body was alternately hot and cold. I was tormented like a lab rat. When I heard the mewing of a cat outside, I thought that the cat would immediately become as large as a tiger and would be released inside the cell to tear me apart. Even the marks on the walls looked like they were snakes or poisonous insects that jumped off the walls. The dark purple marks on the floor looked like blood trails left by those who had died there. Every pore of my body gave off the terrible smell of the drug." -
