  • Ms. Yang Lijuan Suffers Persecution in Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp

    Jilin City Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Yang Lijuan was transferred to the provincial Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp on the afternoon of September 23, 2005 after having been illegally arrested one month ago, had a confession extracted by force, and illegally sentenced. The camp police are applying tortures such as shocks with electric batons and denial of sleep to continuously persecute Ms. Yang.

    In the morning of January 18, 2006 at around 10:00 a.m., Ms. Yang Lijuan's family members came to the forced labor camp to visit her. They were taken to the mess hall. The camp personnel used many excuses not to grant the visit. The Fifth Group's leader Hou Zhihong and guard Wang Limei said that inside the camp Ms. Yang led others to read Falun Gong articles, exercise and meditate, and not do the labor, so her visiting privilege was revoked. In addition, she had to stay longer in the camp. Her sentence was extended by ten days. Ms. Yang Lijuan's mother replied, "I am more than 80 years old and came here from a long distance. The Lunar New Year is coming and that's the time for families to be together, so I must see her today!" After such insistence, they had to allow the visit. However, Hou and Wang requested that the mother persuade Ms. Yang to "behave well" to avoid further extension of her confinement in the forced labor camp.

    Then they brought Ms. Yang Lijuan to the mess hall. When asked by family members what was going on, in front of the camp police and instructor, Ms. Yang talked about the tortures she suffered. She talked about how she had been hung up, force-fed mustard water for more than five hours, tied to a metal chair, shocked by electric batons, etc. Then she continued to say to her mother, "Do you know why last time on November 9 they refused your request to visit me? At that time, my face was burned by the electric shocks and they did not want you to see it. Even now my injuries have still not fully healed." Camp staff member Wang threateningly asked, "Who hit you?" Looking her in the eye, Ms. Yang replied, "Why are you speaking against your own conscience? Weren't you present when Group Leader Liu and Guard Zhou shocked my face with electric batons?!"  Hou denied it and said, "Why did they hit you? Didn't you shout that 'Falun Dafa is good'?" Yang's mother demanded, "Just because of her shouting 'Falun Dafa is good', you used electric shocks on her? The whole world knows that Falun Dafa is good. Electric batons are for criminals. She is a good person meeting the requirements of Truthfulness - Compassion - Forbearance." The camp policewoman had to say, "Electric batons are for Falun Gong practitioners. We are paid by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP gives us food for the table and clothes for the body. Whatever CCP tells us to do, we will carry it out."

    Ignoring the fact that Ms. Yang is cut and bruised all over her body due to torture, the police at Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp are becoming increasingly aggravated in their persecution of her. They force her to do slave labor, deny her daily sleep, and apply more physical punishments to her in an attempt to force Ms. Yang Lijuan to abandon her belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."

    Cruel Persecution of Practitioners at Sichuan Province's Nanmusi Women's Forced Labor Camp

     The guards at the Nanmusi Women's Forced Labor Camp in Sichuan Province have recently become more treacherous and cunning. They are not openly carrying out the persecution as they did previously. Now they secretly lock up Falun Gong practitioners on the top floors. Aside from guards and "cangues" (two people who follow the practitioners around and monitor them 24 hours a day), no one else is allowed to enter.

    With encouragement and support of the guards, drug addict criminals Liu Li and Deng Qin (a resident of the Nanchong area) thought of many wicked ideas to persecute practitioners. They locked up practitioner Ms. Geng Xiaojun in a dark place and hung her up for one day and night before letting her down. When they saw that she still refused to cooperate, they crossed and folded her legs together, and used a rope to tie her legs in this position for over ten hours. Ms. Geng was only released when she lost consciousness from the torture.

    After Ms. Geng Xiaojun was subjected to another torture, her skin developed generalized swelling and many egg-sized boils appeared. She was forbidden to sleep for many days and nights. For many months she was forced to sleep on the cold, hard floor while one hand was handcuffed to a bed frame and the other hand was handcuffed to either Zheng Caiguang or Liu Jianping. Later the boils burst open, and the whole room was filled with the terrible smell. As a result, she was verbally and physically abused for as long as half a year. Under such difficult conditions, Ms. Geng maintained steadfast belief in Teacher and Falun Gong and she finally freed herself.

    Female guard Wang Shan encouraged drug criminal Ling Yan (a resident of the Ziyang area) to persecute practitioner Ms. Jing Huiping. Guard Wang Shan tried to compel Ms. Jing to shout insults at Teacher and Falun Gong, but Ms. Jing refused. Wang Shan beat her up and told Ling Yan and Li Yan (a resident from the Dachuan area) to beat Ms. Jing until she lost consciousness. During the process, much of her hair was pulled out. Every day Ms. Jing was not allowed sleep, to use the bathroom, to bathe, or to drink water. She was verbally and otherwise physically abused every day and forced to do hard labor. As a result, Ms. Jing could no longer move her neck and her limbs. Because this persisted for a few months, her neck and limbs became deformed. She is still incarcerated and being persecuted.

    Female guard Li Xiurong tried to compel practitioners to shout insults at Teacher and Falun Gong, and also made them write these insults in a "thoughts reflection" journal. Anyone who would not write them was subjected to cruel tortures and hard labor. The collaborators Gu Yunsheng (a resident of Jiangan County) and Hu Jianying (from the Nanchong area) were ordered to monitor the practitioners and to report to the guards anytime. The collaborators tried to compel practitioners to give up their belief in Falun Gong. If the practitioners did not agree, the collaborators would inform the guards, who would then persecute the practitioners. Gu Yucheng and Hu Jianying slandered Teacher and Falun Gong frequently and helped the guards on a daily basis to read brainwashing materials to the practitioners in an attempt to poison the practitioners' minds. Collaborator Lei Hong (from the Dachuan area) was very vicious in her verbal and physical assaults. She used a metal clothes hanger to hit practitioner Ms. Wu Silian in the face and hand, and verbally attacked the practitioners. Lei Hong frequently slandered Falun Gong and Teacher and tried to compel others to follow her. The people responsible for the persecution used all kinds of means, but none of them worked on the true practitioners.

    Drug addict criminals Li Jing (from the Dachuan area) and Xu Zhen (a resident of Suizhu) helped to carry out the persecution. They tortured practitioner Ms. Yang Fengying until she suffered a mental disorder and amnesia. Everyday they beat her until she had many bruises and lumps all over her body. They even forced people to slander Teacher and Falun Gong. If the practitioners did not cooperate, they would not be allowed to sleep, go to the washroom, or drink water.

    Ms. Li Yanfei, principal of the Yuan Nursery School in Suizhu City, was illegally arrested many times and sent to forced labor for several years. In spite of this, she never gave up her belief. They had no choice but to release her. They eventually sent her to the Nanmusi Forced Labor Camp to be persecuted. The guards made her stand every day and refused to let her sleep for as long as a month. She was on a hunger strike for over a month. In prison Ms. Li Yanfei was tortured with the tiger bench, extreme forced labor, sleep deprivation, heavy beatings, fines, brainwashing, deprivation of bathroom use, being hung up, and other forms of abuse.

    Information on the Forced Labor Camp of Hulu City in Liaoning Province

     In January 2006, three Falun Gong practitioners walked out of the Forced Labor Camp of Hulu City in Liaoning Province with firm belief in Falun Gong. They are practitioners Mr. Zhao Sifa, Mr. Xu Baotian and a third, unidentified practitioner. All of them were released when their lives were greatly endangered. There are still nine steadfast Falun Gong practitioners held there. They are Mr. Zhang Wenyou, Mr. Pei Guangxin, Mr. Ren Jiuqi, Mr. Li Kai, Mr. Ren Baohe, Mr. Chen Hanxiang, Mr. Tao Shan, Mr. Pei Changqing and Mr. Gao Yanjing.

    Among them, two practitioners' lives are in great danger due to persecution.

    Practitioner Mr. Zhang Wenyou, 43, from Xingcheng City, is held in the fourth  of the forced labor camp. He has been bedridden for many days and could not eat anything in the past month. His body is extremely weak. A hospital examination yielded the diagnosis of liver disease. He endures both physical and mental torture each day, yet the labor camp officials still refuse to release him.

    Practitioner Mr. Ren Baohe, 63, from Hulu City, is held in the fifth group of the forced labor camp. Because he sat in a full lotus position to practice the Falun Gong exercises, the chief and the deputy group leader beat him until his face was swollen and three of his teeth were knocked out. He had a fever on January 19 and 20, and was sent to the hospital on the evening of January 20. His current condition is not clear.

    The chiefs of each group of the camp are the most brutal thugs. They lead other guards to beat practitioners with electric batons and by other methods. Many practitioners have been beaten until they were injured or handicapped.

    Liu Guohua is the leader of the sixth group of the forced labor camp. He has beaten over ten practitioners using his electric baton since 1999, when the persecution of Falun Gong started. He has been playing the role of a thug in the forced labor camp to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. He is extremely cruel.

    Practitioners Mr. Cao Zhaohui and His Wife Chen Lingmei Arrested

    Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Cao Zhaohui and his wife Chen Lingmei have been arrested and detained in Zhuozou City Detention Center in Hebei Province. The couple's physical condition is deteriorating rapidly, and their 80-year-old father is alone at home.

    After Jiang Zemin's regime began persecuting Falun Gong, Mr. Cao Zhaohui has been arrested and detained multiple times. He was twice sent to forced labor at Baoding City Forced Labor Camp. He endured shocking by four electric batons simultaneously, while the guards forced him to stand in a water basin on one foot. Guards also beat him with rubber batons while forcing him to stand in the same position. They said, "This is called 'golden rooster standing on one foot'." Guards also forced his head into the toilet and pulled his arms high behind him, calling it "riding an airplane." He went through other numerous cruel tortures in Baoding City Labor Camp.

    Ms. Chen Lingmei has been arrested and detained many times during the past six years. She has been locked in the Nanma Brainwashing Center in Zhuozhou City and sent to Xiaobailou Brainwashing Center in Baoding City. She has also been held in Baoding City Forced Labor Camp for more than one year, enduring all sorts of tortures.

    Before the persecution, Mr. Cao Zhaohui and his wife adopted a daughter, who is now in her teens. Because they are both detained in the forced labor camp, their 80-year-old father has had to look after their daughter and has not been able to take care of her by himself. As a result, they were forced to give up their daughter so another family could adopt her. Their home has been ransacked so many times that nothing of any value is left. They were forced to beg in order to survive. In spite of all this, they have both been arrested again and their father is left without any resources or help.

    We hereby call on all kind-hearted people to help by expressing your concern for Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Cao Zhaohui and his wife Chen Lingmei and by expressing your concern about the officials covering up policeman He Xuejian's rape of two Falun Gong practitioners in the same city.
