15 Women Massacred in a Chinese Labor Camp for Practicing Falun Gong
Supporters Worldwide Condemn Jiang Zemins Brutal Policy
(San Francisco - July 3, 2001) At least 15 female Falun Gong practitioners were tortured to death at Wanjia Labor Camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province on or around June 20, 2001. Many others remain in serious condition as of this release.
According to reports, the officers from the labor camp attempted to control all news from leaking out of the camp. All staff and guards from Wanjia Labor Camp were not permitted to go home following the massacre; all the staff had to surrender their cell phones and pagers; telephone lines to the labor camp were cut to prevent any phone calls to the outside. Some information about this atrocity, however, has been reported to us.
Falun Gong supporters worldwide will gather at the local Chinese Embassies and Consulates to expose this crime and provide further information about death and severe torture cases occurring over the last month. These cases reveal an alarming pattern of unrestrained brutality that has arisen from pressure exerted by Jiang Zemins regime to "exterminate Falun Gong at all costs".
In just the last month, 35 Chinese citizens who practice Falun Gong were reported to have died in police custody or as a result of police torture.
We will gather at the Chinese consulate to send out an SOS rescue the Falun Gong practitioners persecuted in China.
