Practitioner Cui Yaning's Life in Imminent Danger at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp
2004-05-08
Ms. Cui Yaning has been illegally detained and abused in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. Because of her poor health, she was sent to the Internal Masanjia Hospital. A checkup revealed extremely low blood pressure and an abnormal electrocardiogram. Supervisor Zhang Xiurong knew about the situation but lied, saying that Yaning had no problems and was in good health, refusing to release her. Currently Cui Yaning's life is in imminent danger, but prison guards paid no heed to this and simply locked her up in a small solitary cell. -

Slave Labour and Disguised Extortion in Detention Centres in Hubei Province
2004-05-05Detention centre guards in Wuhan, Hubei Province force detainees to do slave labour in their prison cells. For example, in Xiangfan City No. 1 Detention Centre, they force the detainees in their cells to produce medicine boxes, and to assemble elementary and preschool textbooks. The detention centre enforcers also collect tainted money. Not only do the slave labourers not get a single penny; but on top of that, some detainees are forced to pay 20 Yuan in "accommodation and meals fees" for each day they are locked up. -
Barbaric Acts at a Tianjin City Women's Forced Labour Camp
2004-05-04Because she steadfastly practised Falun Gong, over 50 year old Ms. Yan Shujun, was abducted by the Tianjin City Public Security Bureau in November 2000. Then she was unjustly sentenced to two and half years of forced labour. In the labour camp she was subjected to shocking with electric batons. Then guards confined Ms. Yan to a 1.6 ft x 1 ft x 5 ft wooden cage where the 5-foot-7-inch tall Ms. Yan was forced into a partially-crouched position, for 8 days. Afterwards she had significant muscular and skeletal problems. -
The Suffering of Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Wang Haiqing in a Liaoning Province Forced Labour Camp
2004-05-04Mr. Wang Haiqing used to live in Fuxing City, Liaoning Province. Imprisoned in a labour camp the police threatened, "If anyone refuses to accept brainwashing, we'll push him out of a fourth floor window and tell the public he committed suicide." Undergoing these perpetual tortures, Mr. Wang's physical condition worsened, his arms and legs ceased to function, and his vision deteriorated. His distressed family requested that Mr Wang be released on medical grounds. Yet the camp refused claiming that after medical testing he had recovered. How could a patient who had almost lost the use of his eyes (as verified by hospital tests) and his limbs recover his health in a forced labour camp within several days? -
After Her Daughter Chen Ying Was Killed, Ms. Chen Xiuling Was Kidnapped and Tortured in Jiamusi Forced Labour Camp
2004-05-03"My name is Chen Xiuling, and I am 54 years old. I was a marketing director in Heilongjiang Province. My daughter Chen Ying, who is listed as the first among practitioners who were killed during the persecution, used to practise Falun Dafa with me. She was a good child. I was also arrested and sentenced to three years at Jiamusi Forced Labour Camp. Now I am still suffering a lot. Because of the persecution, I now have many illnesses all over my body." -
Dafa Practitioners Are Brutally Tortured at Tianjin City's Jianxin Forced Labour Camp
2004-05-03The Jianxin Forced Labour Camp in Tianjin City has been systematically persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, using extremely brutal, inhumane means. If practitioners refuse to write the "Three Statements" the guards threaten: "If you do not change your mind, what awaits you is only death, and your death will be counted as a natural death." Jiang Zemin and his followers refer to the brutal process of forcing people to give up their thoughts and belief as "transformation." This is the appalling truth of the so-called "transformation" we have witnessed. -
Crimes Committed by Policewoman Huang Haiyan against Practitioners in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

Extreme Brutality in the Dalian City Forced Labour Camp and Belated News of Several Deaths
2004-04-26On March 19, 2001, the Dalian City Forced Labour Camp officials started a large-scale campaign of "Forceful Transformation" [to force practitioners to give up and renounce Falun Gong]. This savage "Forceful Transformation" caused one death and one severe injury among the practitioners. Two other deaths took place in the Dalian City Forced Labour Camp. One of the practitioners who died was Sun Lianxia, tortured to death on January 16, 2001. The other was practitioner Wang Qiuxia, who was beaten to death on June 10, 2001. -
A Non-Practitioner's Eyewitness Account of the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at the Jiutai Yinmahe Forced Labour Camp
2004-04-23Because of my wrongdoing, in 2003 I was sent to the Jilin Province Jiutai Yinmahe Forced Labour Camp. When I first arrived, due to the deceptive propaganda I had received while out in the world, I held a biased view and had a bad impression of the Falun Gong practitioners detained at the camp. Later, however, through frequent contact with the practitioners, my viewpoint gradually changed. I found out that they were not like what the TV stations, radio stations, or the newspapers had broadcast. Falun Gong practitioners were actually good people in society. Yet the treatment they received in the camp was so terrible, you would not believe it! I am revealing this cruel goings-on so that I hope that more people may offer understanding and sympathy to those being so unjustly persecuted. -

Investigative Report on Forced Labour Products Made by Falun Gong Practitioners in China's Labour Camps (Part II)
2004-04-17Forced slavery in labour camps exists under the instigation of Chinese government policies. The establishment of these modern-day concentration camps masquerading as "re-education centres" is in fact in violation of China's own constitution. Camp conditions and procedures are not monitored or inspected, the camps are not required to publicize their activities, nor do they need any defense by attorneys. In fact, these "re-education centres" have become not only instruments of dictatorship but also criminal tools used at will by corrupt officials in China to lure foreign corporations that are uniformed of the true situation into participating in human rights abuses for the sake of profit. -
More Facts about the Death of Lawyer Li Jian Due to Beatings and Excessive Slave Labour
2004-04-10Mr. Li Jian was a lawyer from Henan Province. Because he refused to give up Falun Gong, the No. 3 Forced Labour Camp of Henan Province tortured him repeatedly. After a long hard day of slave labour and beatings, worn out, Li Jian said on the way back to another practitioner, " I really cannot stand this anymore. They want to torture me to death." He died on April 26, 2002. -
The Story Behind Making China's "Sanitary" Chopsticks -- Exposing Slave Labour Practices Inside Chinese Labour Camps (Part Three)
2004-04-09Methods of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners not only include cruel torture but also forcing high intensity labour in Changchun Heizuizi Female Forced Labour Camp in Jilin Province. Overworking practitioners is a method used by the officials of the Camp to break down Falun Dafa practitioners physically and mentally. For example: each person processing the masks is required to finish 500 pieces per day when it is only possible to do about 300. It is impossible to finish. Any practitioner who doesn't finish the unreasonable quota, is punished and beaten. So, the curses and the threats happen every day.
