(Clearwisdom.net) I am a 39-year-old female Falun Dafa practitioner. After being illegally detained several times I was sent to a forced labor camp because I persisted in my belief and refused to write a letter denouncing my faith in Falun Gong. I am going to talk about my ordeal.
During the period from April to August 2000, I was detained three times. The first time was April 2000 when I was sent to the Taixing Detention Center. There, I was handcuffed for ten consecutive days. The second time was July 2000, when I was held in the Xinghua Detention Center. In that place, my hands and feet were handcuffed to a bed. Because my hands were handcuffed behind my back, I could only sit and could not lie down. I was kept in that position for about 90 hours. The third time was from July to August when I was handcuffed to a bed for 15 consecutive days. I was unable to take a shower for 18 days during that month. It was a sweltering summer and I lost about 10 kilograms in one month.
On December 29, 2000, I was sent to Jurong Forced Labor Camp of Jiangsu Province. In the Camp, whatever the policemen said and required became the law. They beat and swore at the detainees at will. During my four months there, I experienced corporal punishment for about 30 days. I was beaten with electric batons three times and by inmates a few more times. On the eve of the Chinese New Year in 2001, I was summoned to a room. After I entered the room, the prison guards shut the door. Then the prison guards and the heads of the labor camp encircled me, each with an electric baton in his hands. They shocked my hands with two batons at the same time until my hands were bleeding. They forced me to admit that I was a criminal inmate of the labor camp and made me wear a prisoner tag on my chest. On April 19, 2001, I was called into the office and five female prison guards (Li Yun, Zhang Ying, Xumin, Zhang Ying and Zhou Ying) took out the electric batons they had prepared to shock my temples, mouth, face, neck, hands and feet. They also hit my head with the electric batons. They even pulled out a bunch of my hair, blew it at my face and roared with laughter. It seemed that they were taking out their frustrations on me for something I did not know. I was beaten up either because I talked to a fellow practitioner or I refused to talk. The prison guards often disallowed me to drink or go to the toilet.
Once, after I had been punished physically for two days and nights, one disciplinary guard said to me, "You must agree to be transformed or you will be beaten up again." Because I was not willing to say anything that was against my will, two inmates dragged me into a confined cell on the third floor. They punched and kicked me, and pulled down my trousers and made some obscene gestures. At about 9 o'clock one evening, I was summoned into the office. Four female disciplinary guards (Zhao Yulan, Wang Ya, Zheng Qihui and Zhang Ying) handcuffed my hands behind my back and used electric batons to shock my neck, hands and feet. They took my shoes off, poured water onto my feet and then shocked them with the batons. Afterwards, they stripped off my trousers again only leaving my underwear on. Then they grabbed my hair madly and used scissors to cut randomly. One of the guards grabbed my hair, and the other two stepped on my toes with their boots on and shocked me with three electric batons at the same time. They rolled one electric baton on my stomach and used the other two to shock the arches of my feet and my toes until I began to vomit. My neck and belly suffered from electric burns, and my feet were so swollen that I could not even put my shoes on. Finally they took me to a confined cell on the third floor. During the following day, I vomited whatever I ate.
Three days later, they forcefully fed me, and this lasted for 27 days. At the beginning, they fed me twice a day and then increased it to three times a day. Sometimes the rubber tube was forced into my windpipe and caused wounds. Other times, they would repeatedly insert the tube until my windpipe bled. At that time, I had had corporal punishment for more than ten days and that made me an easy target. People would beat me whenever they wished. I had bruises all over my body. My eyes were swollen, my face turned black and blue, and my nose and mouth were bleeding. The prison guards sometimes grabbed my hair and banged my head against the wall or iron frames. During forced feeding each day, the vicious prison guard would ask the person in charge of the task to drug the food. It seemed that they were trying to cover up something.
One inmate always reminded the guards to hit my body instead of my face. So they kicked me until their shoes were broken and beat me until their hands were sore. They beat me with a 30-centimetre long iron bar and stepped on my toes.
One day, a prison guard asked four inmates (Shi Fengjuan, Zeng Fang, Ge Hongmei and Zhou Yunshan) to grab my hand and forced me to sign on a pre-written letter of breaking off with Falun Dafa. They also wrote obscene words on my face, clothing, shoes, blanket as well as the walls. Once at the site of forced feeding, one prison guard told the inmates to write obscene words on slips of paper. They then stuffed the paper into my clothing including my underwear. When I tried to stop them, the prison guard stabbed my hand with the tip of a pen and stuck a needle into my back and neck. I also suffered from a wound on my back and I had difficulty standing up. They used all sorts of methods to torture me, including yanking out my hair, pulling my hair off from my head until there was a strip of scalp showing. They also injured my genitals with their feet, hands and spoons, and pinched my breasts with their fingernails. Because I refused to be transformed they illegally extended my detention for another five months.
Above is the ordeal I suffered during my detention. Here, I would like to ask these prison guards and disciplinary guards to stop persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners immediately. Keep in mind the karmic law of the universe that good deeds are rewarded with good returns and evil actions meet evil.
