We are the family members of Falun Gong practitioners illegally detained at Baimalong Women's Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province. Twice before, after overcoming numerous barriers, we published joint letters appealing to the international community. We exposed the brutal treatment of our beloved ones at the Baimalong Women's Forced Labor Camp, where they are tortured merely because they practice Falun Gong.

Voices of justice from inside and outside the country severely condemned the labor camp, yet the labor camp authorities did not correct their wicked ways, but instead resorted to even more sinister persecution methods. The camp officials recruited several collaborators and deceived their family members into praising the labor camp and the roughnecks. They videotaped the process and broadcast it on TV to brainwash the general public. All the leaders are now hiding behind the scenes, and only a few young guards who are recent police academy graduates use the bait of reducing prison terms to instigate criminal inmates to beat our family members to the point of near-death. The methods are extremely cruel.

More than 95% the guards at the labor camp are women. They became extremely violent and cruel following the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) encouragement and indoctrination. Their methods of torture include long-term sexual abuse, injections of unknown drugs, and sometimes putting drugs into practitioners' food and water. Some drugs cause near asphyxiation, some precipitate a mental collapse, others cause physical disabilities, and some cause other permanent damage. We want to expose a few recent incidents in order to stop this brutality that is annihilating the conscience and morality of the Chinese race.

Ms. Liu Dan, 28, lived near the Luowang Horticulture Farm in Yueyang City, Hunan Province. The deputy head of the women's forced labor camp, Ding Cailan, was promoted from average-level guard within three years solely because of her "contribution" in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Ding Cailan said, "Liu Dan's parents signed the appeal letter to the world. Now the only way to reverse the outcome is to do everything possible to "reform" Liu Dan and make her talk to the international community." With directives from Ding and other head guards, Ms. Liu was repeatedly locked in the "taking the fort" room where she was shocked with electric batons, stabbed with needles, and smacked with sticks. She vomited blood frequently and was covered in wounds, but she still refused to give up her belief. The camp officials thought of another idea and colluded with guards from the Xinkaipu Labor Camp in Changsha City. Ms. Liu's husband, Zhou Yongbin, was being held at the Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp. They injected him with nerve-damaging drugs, precipitating his mental collapse. They told Ms. Liu about this, ignoring her fragile condition, and hoped she would "reform."

Ms. Wen Huiying, 53, was the financial officer at the Taoyuan County Shipping Company in Hunan Province. She was taken to the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp in 2001, and was handcuffed to a metal bed and injected with drugs for refusing to write a guarantee statement. Following the injections, she lost feeling in her limbs. Her family took her home in late 2002, when she was on the brink of death. She was arrested and sent to the labor camp again in January 2006. The guards vented their fury on her in retaliation for her family signing the appeal letter. Her blood pressure reached 200, but the guards didn't let her sleep for more than 20 days. They hit her head with metal coat hangers until the hangers broke and her head was covered in injuries. Ms. Wen persisted in her belief. The guards put her in a straitjacket, cuffed her hands behind her back, and tied her feet together. They forced her to stand barefoot on a wet tile floor in the winter. She couldn't stand still because of severe sleep deprivation, and fell repeatedly until she was covered in blood and her face was so swollen she couldn't open her eyes. The guards made her squat while stabbing her with large sewing needles, beating and kicking her, and hitting her with stools and brooms until they broke. Ms. Wen's hands, feet and legs became extremely swollen. Great pain also prevented her from eating. The guards force-fed her and purposely stabbed her throat with chopsticks and toothbrushes until these torture tools injured her throat. They knocked out her three teeth and also forbade her from using the restroom. She was soaked in water, congee, blood, urine and feces.

Ms. Shu Bilan, 61, worked as the head of the finance section at the Changsha City Telecommunications Bureau. She was sentenced to one year of forced labor and taken to Baimalong in 2001. She was shocked with electric batons and electric needles, which caused profuse bleeding. She was released in late 2002 but was taken to brainwashing sessions many times. She was sentenced to three years of forced labor in 2005 and was again taken to Baimalong. A group of guards headed by Huang Wenmin handcuffed her, and forbade her from sleeping, washing herself or sitting down for a long time. They also beat her and knocked out her teeth. They injected her with a large quantity of drugs, after which she developed a huge tumor on her neck. She was eventually diagnosed with late-stage brain cancer, and her family took her home.

Ms. Liu Yuwei, 37, worked as an accountant at the Yiyang City Frozen Meat Factory in Hunan Province. She persisted in Falun Gong practice and was taken to Baimalong in 2001 where she was held in a solitary confinement cell, put into a straitjacket, and tortured and shocked with electric batons. Her sentence was extended by one year. She was released in late 2002. Ms. Liu was arrested in June 2005 while distributing truth-clarification materials and was sentenced to 18 months of forced labor, again being taken to Baimalong. The guards deprived her of sleep for a long time and forced her to stand upright for long periods, which caused her to lose consciousness many times. Six people once stripped her naked and pushed several Y-shaped forks into her vagina. Such forks are used along with clothes hangers! Y-shaped forks couldn't be pulled out [for a very long time] and she suffered extraordinary humiliation and pain. She couldn't walk normally for a long time. At another time they didn't let her use the restroom for eight days and a stream of body fluid shot straight out from her navel. The guards were shocked at seeing this abnormal condition.

Ms. Xu Shaoan, 57, came from Xiangtan City, Hunan Province. Guards Fan Yingqiao and Peng Jinwen ordered four imprisoned drug addicts to torture her. They stabbed all of her fingers with needles and inserted the needles underneath her nails all the way to her first knuckle. The pain made her lose consciousness. After regaining consciousness they resumed coercion, attempting to force her to write a guarantee statement. The drug addicts shouted, "We can only get sentence reductions by hitting you harder and harder." Ms. Xu's face became deformed from the beatings. Guard Wang Huanxin ordered the inmates to make her stand for several nights in the restroom, where bone-piercing cold wind blow through. Ms. Xu still refused to write a guarantee statement. They laced her food with drugs, making her have a sudden mental collapse. Her family took her home, but she is no longer able to think or act normally.

Ms. Li Jiaju is in her fifties and came from Huangni Township, Yongxing County, Hunan Province. She was nearly killed at the labor camp when she arrived there in January 2006. The guards force-fed her with feces and urine. They shoved a feminine napkin and filthy towel inside her mouth. They deprived her of sleep and use of the restroom, and made her stand up or squat for long periods. They also poured cold water on her in the winter until she lost consciousness. They beat her when she came to and taped her mouth so she could not make a sound. She is currently near death, but the labor camp refuses to release her.

Ms. Zhen Xiaohua, 35, came from Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. She was not allowed to sleep at the labor camp and was also made to stand facing a wall or sit on a small stool. The guards hit her head, knees, thighs and other sensitive body parts with stools or sticks. They stabbed her vagina with wooden sticks and several toothbrushes tied into a bundle. Zhen Xiaohua's entire body became bloated but she refused to give up her belief. The guards put drugs in her food, causing her to become paralyzed and confused. The labor camp told her family to take her home when she was near death. Her family took her to a hospital, but the hospital, saying her condition was too severe, refused to treat her. She passed away on May 17, 2006.

Ms. Jiang Deying, 54, was a lecturer at Hunan Normal University and was sentenced to one year of forced labor in January 2006 at Baimalong. Guard Shi Yongqing sent her to the "taking the fort" room so she could hear the screams from other practitioners being tortured next door. Guard Shi Yongqing asked her, "Did you hear it?" He then began torturing her. He drew a circle on the floor and made her stand or squat in the circle. He deprived her of sleep, washing for personal hygiene, and restroom use. When she threw up from the beating, he forced her to swallow the vomit. She became bloated, and her face looked like a pumpkin. Some of her teeth were dislocated from the beating, and she bled from her nose and mouth. The guards proceeded to strip her naked and write vulgar and slanderous words attacking Master Li and Falun Gong on her body. She refused to reform and was pushed into another room where her hands and feet were stabbed with needles. They gagged her with a towel and savagely beat her. Five people grabbed her and held her hand to force her signature on a prepared guarantee statement.

These horrific atrocities take place frequently at the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp.

We have just heard about the plight of two Falun Gong practitioners--Fu Weijia from Yueyang City, who sustained a fractured leg from beatings, and Guo Mingqing from Shaoyang City, whose fingers were severally broken at this labor camp.

Our article does not begin to describe even a minute portion of the horrors that go on at the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp. There also are many other similar labor camps in China. Persecution at this particular labor camp reflects the CCP's barbaric behavior. The harvesting of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, which was exposed earlier this year, further reveals the CCP's cruel nature. As human rights lawyer David Matas has said, the organ harvesting is "a form of evil new to this planet."

The only thing this evildoing Party has accomplished during the past seven years of persecution is the exposure of its inhumanity, oppression, suppression and savagery of tormenting people who follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. We have witnessed the bloody persecution firsthand and we, as well as other kind-hearted people, no longer cling to illusions about the Chinese Communist Party!

We will no longer passively endure the CCP atrocities! We will no longer lose heart for having nowhere to turn for justice! We will stand together with Falun Gong practitioners and justice-loving people inside and outside China, to completely expose this Party's crimes against humanity. We earnestly hope international human rights organizations and other people can come to China to investigate the CCP's crimes, and urge the Communist regime to immediately release all illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners. We are fully prepared to provide you, the investigation team, with powerful evidence and do our best to help you with investigation work.

We call out to other families of the millions of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Falun Gong practitioners are widely acknowledged as good people. Our loved ones didn't do anything wrong by practicing Falun Gong. Don't wait or stay silent any longer! Our loved ones will be tortured and killed with our silence and cowardice, and only by stepping forward and exposing the Party's outrageous brutality will we suppress and disintegrate the Party and thereby rescue our families, ourselves, our country and our people.

 Guards at Baimalong Women's Forced Labor Camp used despicable tactics to torture practitioners in attemps to brainwash them. In early July 2006, to cover up their crimes of brutally torturing practitioners, the labor 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 labor 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.

In Baimalong Forced Labor Camp, the cries and sounds of misery coming from the practitioners who were being brutally tortured and shouts of "Falun Dafa is good" could be heard day and night. Below are only some of the cases of persecution.

Ms. Liu Yuwei, 38, is from Yiyang County. She was sentenced to forced labor for the second time in 2005. Guards at Baimalong Forced Labor Camp tortured her for several months in order to force her to give up her beliefs, but they failed. On May 22, 2005, she was forced to stand for a long time. She was not allowed to use the restroom and was deprived of sleep. Several thugs were assigned to monitor her and try to force her to write the three statements. Under the guards' control, these thugs used all kinds of methods to torture her. They stripped off her clothes and inserted a clothes hanger into her vagina. The hanger got stuck inside her and couldn't be taken out. A month later, Ms. Liu was still unable to walk normally.

Ms. Liao Hong, 33, is from Yueyang City. She was sentenced to forced labor in 2005. She clarified the truth to the guards and did not cooperate with them. She was subjected to beatings and was forced to stand for long hours near a window that was purposefully left wide open. She got freezing cold and became sick. One morning after getting up, she called out "Falun Dafa is good" several times. The guard, Ning, viciously kicked her and sent her to the "restriction team." She was forced to stand for five days and nights. In order to force her to write the three statements, four thugs continuously kicked her like they were kicking a football. Her hands were swollen and red due to the trampling. When she showed her painful hands to the guard on duty, Tan Jie said, "I don't see anything. If you are injured, you can pay a medial expert to examine you." However, they didn't allow her to see a medical expert. The guard in the restricted team, Shi Yongqing, ordered thugs Li Ying from Hengyang, Long Saiping from Yueyang, Huang Yan, and others to strip off her clothes. They pushed her to the ground and poured glue on her. They also poured very cold water all over her.

Ms. Jiang Deying, 56, was a teacher, and later a staff member of Hunan Teachers University. She was arrested on December 21, 2005, by police at Yuelu Police Station in Changsha City. She was sentenced to one year of forced labor. She was sent to the restricted team at Baimalong Labor Camp and detained in the No. 1 Cell. Thugs Li Ying, Huang Yan and Yi Hongxia did not allow her to sleep or use the restroom. She was forced to stand straight day and night and was constantly kicked. Li Ying pushed Ms. Jiang onto the ground and held her feet to beat her. The guard yelled, "I will beat you to death, even if I have to pay with my life to do it. After all, did you write the statements or not?" Li Ying continued to brutally beat her.

Ms. Zhou Aihua, 56, is from Huaihua County. She was forced to stand straight for 17 days and nights, from March 11, 2006 to March 28, 2006. When she was in a coma, they took her hand and forcibly signed the statement they had already prepared. On May 31 the guards forced a practitioner who had signed the three statements against her will after being brutally tortured to read the statement publicly in front of everyone in the team. They even videotaped the scene. At that time, Ms. Zhou stood up and called out loudly, "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good."

She was quickly dragged away and taken to a separate room at the order of Squadron Leader Long Liyun. Deputy Group Leader He Yulian forced Ms. Zhou to squat down, and ordered Li Ying, Huang Yan, and other thugs to beat her. They took turns beating her with a stool. While beating her, Li Ying verbally abused her. Zhou Aihua called out again, "Falun Dafa is good." Others sealed her mouth and nose and forced her to sign the prepared paper.

Ms. Fu Weijia was forced to stand for many days. Several months have passed and her feet are still swollen and she is still unable to walk normally. Many practitioners have suffered brutal tortures in this labor camp. The following practitioners suffered especially severe tortures: Sui Yuxiang, Liu Kaihua, Yang Changer, Liu Dongxiu, Che Xiaoyang, Guo Mingqing, Lei Jianli, Luo Yufang, Liu Xiaoming, Wang Baihua, and others whose names are unknown.

Son of Mr. Hu Yongjian and Ms. Tang Yunli Calling for Help

Mr. Hu Yongjian and his wife, Ms. Tang Yunli, are from the Sixth Village, Chengshanwei Town, Rongcheng City, Shandong Province. They have a ten-year-old son, Tianniu, and own a shop called "Dexin Shop." After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began its persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, Mr. Hu and his wife wanted to learn more about Falun Gong. After they heard the truth and realized that Falun Gong benefits society and individuals and does not harm anyone, they began to practice Falun Gong in 2004. They conducted their business, keeping the principles Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance in mind at all times.

In June 2004, when delivering goods, Mr. Hu found 3,000 yuan, a 50,000 yuan bank deposit, three ATM cards and the identification of the owner on the ground. Moreover, this person and Mr. Hu used to hate each other. Mr. Hu talked with his wife and they both thought practitioners should follow the Fa's standard and always consider others first. They returned everything immediately. The villagers were highly surprised and realized that the slander of Falun Gong they heard on television programs was false!

One evening in October 2005, Mr. Hu saw a drunken young man lying in the middle of an intersection. There were no lights. Mr. Hu and his wife helped the person to get home safely. One evening in May 2006, Mr. Hu saw that a young taxi driver from Northeast China was trapped in a car because of an accident. He had been calling for help for nearly two hours, but everyone hurried by and refused to provide help. Mr. Hu and another practitioner got him out of the car and took him to the hospital.

They are such nice people. Yet, Rongcheng City 610 Office agents Xing Jianping, Hu Zongwei, Liu Hongdong, along with Song Haibo, the CCP secretary of Chengshanwei Town, local police officers Wang Hongwei, Yu Jianxiu, the CCP secretary of the Sixth Village, Policeman Hu Baoyue, and others arrested them. They were taken to Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Zibo City, Shandong Province, leaving the 10-year-old child and parents, in their late 70s, at home without care.

At around 10:00 a.m. on the morning on February 22, 2006, because of a report from Yu Jianxiu, the CCP secretary of the Sixth Village, and six or seven policemen, led by 610 Office agent Xing Jianping, broke into their home and arrested Ms. Tang Yunli. They confiscated about 3,000 yuan. Ms. Tang was detained at Rongcheng Detention Center, and taken to Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Zibo City on March 22.

Early on the morning of October 16, staff from Rongcheng 610 Office and Chengshanwei Town police arrested Mr. Hu Yongjian. His ten-year-old son, who already lost his mother's care, held onto his dad's legs and would not let go. Police grabbed the child and pushed him to the ground. When the young man whose life was saved by Mr. Hu from the traffic accident heard of this and went to the police station to try to appeal, he was driven out of the police station. Yu Jianxiu, the CCP secretary of the Sixth Village lied to Mr. Hu's elderly parents. He claimed that other practitioners sold Mr. Hu out.

Mr. Guo Zhenge, a Falun Gong practitioner from Paiziling Village, Qianjiadian Township, Yanqing County, Beijing City, was illegally sentenced to two years of forced labor by the National Security Agents with the excuse of "harboring Falun Gong books" on January 30, 2005.

In the 3rd Group of Beijing Tuanhe Men's Forced Labor Camp, the prison guards and prisoners tortured him with various methods to try to force him to renounce Falun Gong. Prison guards Li Wei and Gao Jianguo locked him in a workshop storage room and tortured him. The prison guards directed prisoners Wang Aimin and Zhu Tianlin to beat Guo Zhenge. They deprived him of sleep for many nights. Guo Zhenge had to sit on a stool without moving every day as the prisoners strictly monitored him. He was not allowed to go out of the room. The porridge given to him was only rice broth without any rice. The food given to him was less than half of the normal quantity for detainees. He was deprived of vegetables all year round. Guo Zhenge became severely emaciated.

Guo Zhenge suffered a mental collapse as result of the long term mental and physical persecution carried out in the evil Party's forced labor camp. Under such circumstances, the prison guards in Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp, however, are still threatening to add a one-year extension to Guo Zhenge's term.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Cai Bo, 38, was a tax worker employed by the State Tax Bureau in Huanggu District, Shenyang City, and was living in the Huanggu District. After July 20, 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party started persecuting Falun Gong, district 610 Office agents followed Mr. Cai for a long time, and harassed him, using the excuse that he was the chief volunteer assistant for Falun Gong in the Huanggu District. One day in mid December 2000, many banners saying "Falun Dafa is Good!" were hung all over the Huanggu District streets. Policemen from the Huanggu District Department arrested Mr .Cai, brutally beat him, tortured him, but still could not force him give in to the evil by renouncing the practice.

In Spring 2001, the Huanggu District Court sentenced Mr. Cai Bo to six years in the Anshan Prison, and he was recently released. During these past nearly six years, Mr. Cai Bo has endured all sorts of inhuman tortures, but he always kept a solid faith. His parents missed him very much. In addition to his father being paralyzed, his employer dismissed him under pressure. Currently Mr. Cai Bo is shouldering both mental and financial pressure, and lives a very hard life.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Xiao Huiqing, in her fifties, is an elementary school teacher employed by Jiajia Town Elementary School in Jianyang City, Sichuan Province. On November 28, 2003, she gave one of her students a truth-clarifying card. She was reported and sentenced to three years of forced labor. Her term ended on November 28, 2006, but officials at the Jianyang City 610 Office took her directly from the labor camp to the Erequan Brainwashing Session held in Yingjie Town, Ziyang City on November 28, 2006.

In November 2006, the 610 Office agents also took Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Yan Zhenxiang from Wumiao Township, Mr. Zeng Guangming (senior citizen) from Jiajia Town, and Ms. Hu Lingying (senior citizen) from Jiancheng Town to the Ziyang City Brainwashing Session.
