Sordid Rape and Brutal Torture -- Atrocities in the Zhongba Labor Camp in Guizhou Province

(Clearwisdom.net)

In August of 2002, prior to the opening of the November 2002 16^th Communist Party Congress, the police and guards at the Zhongba Labor Camp in Guizhou Province escalated their persecution against Falun Gong practitioners.

During this period, the camp police used despicable means to torment practitioners. The camp police locked female Dafa practitioners into male criminals' cells and instigated the male prisoners to rape them. They also forced Dafa practitioners to wear heavy clothing in the scorching sun, and forced Dafa practitioners to wear shoes with protruding nails in them. Two prisoners dragged each practitioner to make him or her run. The guards also shone intense light directly in the practitioners' eyes, and subjected them to other forms of abuse.

Following are details of some of the atrocities used to torture and torment Dafa practitioners:

1. Locked steadfast a female Dafa practitioner into the less than 40 square feet male cell to be tortured and humiliated by two male drug addicts. They ripped off her clothes, inserted ice into her vagina, and raped her.
2. a.) In the hottest months of August and September, the camp police forced Dafa practitioners to wear insulated overcoats and pants and then poured water on them. b.) Dafa practitioners were also forced to put on shoes with hidden nails, and then each of them was dragged by two drug addicts to run, with one drug addict pushing and beating from behind. c.) They took turns to further torture Dafa practitioners. d.) The prisoners were grouped into over a dozen "storming teams;" each team consisted of four police officers and four prisoners, of whom most were drug addicts, to attack one Dafa practitioner. Sometimes several dozen or more attacked one Dafa practitioner.
3. Monitored Dafa practitioners around the clock. They used drug addicts to closely watch Dafa practitioners and instigated them to brutally beat Dafa practitioners.
4. Deprived Dafa practitioners of sleep for more than a week. The Dafa practitioner was first brutally beaten, and was then forced to run. Some Dafa practitioners were injected with an amphetamine drug at that time. Then the practitioner was blinded with intense light and was not allowed to close his eyes; his body was continuously pushed back and forth while being forced to listen to sharp sounds. Then he was forced to run continuously. The skin on some Dafa practitioners' legs and feet was broken, with blood everywhere on the ground.
5. They used bricks and rocks wrapped in cloth to violently hit the Dafa practitioners' back, rib areas, and hip joint areas. The Dafa practitioners suffered painful internal injuries, which could not be easily seen from the outside.
6. The perpetrators pulled out practitioners' pubic hairs.
7. Used lit cigarettes to burn Dafa practitioners.
8. Constantly shook, tickled, and scratched Dafa practitioners.
9. Force-fed those Dafa practitioners who went on a hunger strike.
10. During this period, they continually broadcast videos and audiotapes that slandered Dafa and Master Li; they propagated false news and things that would mislead people into wrong understandings; for instance, violence plus brainwashing when Dafa practitioners were tired and their vigilance had slackened; when they were in a confused mental state from the torture and found it difficult to stand it anymore.
11. Dafa practitioners were forced to work extended hours every day. They were forced to work sixteen to seventeen hours a day, sometimes even twenty-four hours a day.
12. The most frequently used physical punishments included military poses, exposure to the scorching sun, shocking with the electric batons, beating with metal police batons wrapped in rubber, binding with rope, tying to metal beds for several days with limbs stretched out, sealing the mouth with adhesive tape or gagging with rags, cuffing and hanging in the air, and locking in solitary confinement while wearing only shorts or a shirt in the winter, no blanket for a cover.
