  • An Insider Reveals Details of Murders Committed at the Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp

    Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Junhua was detained in the Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp in Hebei Province. On the morning of May 1, 2005 she was forced to go out to work, and later disappeared. In connection with this, an insider has revealed details of murders being committed at the Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp: "Actually, many people die at the Gaoyang Forced Labour camp every year. Death is very common, not to mention cases of disappearance. Those divisions... which one has not killed someone? If they beat someone to death, they just find a doctor to issue a false death certificate and testimony for the cause of death, or they simply just bury the person to hide the evidence. When the family members of the deceased arrive, the person cannot be found. At most the authorities give the family some hush money. Creating false appearances is what they are good at and accustom to."
