  • Despicable Tactics Used in Baimalong Women's Forced Labour Camp in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province

    Guards at Baimalong Women's Forced Labour Camp used despicable tactics to torture practitioners in attempts to brainwash them. In early July 2006, to cover up their crimes of brutally torturing practitioners, the labour camp held a so-called "assisting education" conference, which was broadcast on TV. They invited several families of the tortured practitioners, who suffered mental trauma as a result of the brainwashing. The labour camp distorted the facts to deceive people and cover up their crimes. The truth is that they tortured practitioners to the edge of death. On the surface, they used those family members to present their efforts as good work.
