1. [Tianjin City] The Guards at Banqiao Female Forced Labor Instruct Prisoners to Sexually Humiliate Falun Gong Practitioners

The chiefs Hao Demin and Liu Xiaohong from No. 1 Brigade at Banqiao Female Forced Labor in Tianjin City directed drug addict and prostitute prisoners to force-feed female Falun Gong practitioners with a substance commonly used as an aphrodisiac. The inmates stripped off practitioners' clothes and did degrading things to them. [Falun Gong practitioners cultivate a high moral character and conduct themselves with virtue. These types of abuses are another form of torture which attempt to degrade the values that Falun Gong practitioners live by]

The prostitute prisoners threatened, "We will treat you the same way men treat us" and insulted practitioners. When someone said, "Don't treat them like this. What if there is an accident?" The prostitutes replied, "The chiefs asked us to do it. We are only following orders." Ordered by Hao Demin and Liu Xiaohong, nearly all steadfast practitioners have experienced brutal torture at the Banqiao Female Forced Labor. The persecution continues, and in fact is intensifying.

2. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Mr. Li Xiaoyuan Has Been Repeatedly Imprisoned and Tortured Before Death

Mr. Li Xiaoyuan, a 46 year-old Falun Gong practitioner lived in Huanggu District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. After Falun Gong was banned on July 22, 1999 in China, he went to Beijing to appeal. He was illegally arrested and in November of the same year, he was sent to Longshan Brainwashing Center (previously Longshan Forced Labor Camp) in Shenyang City. He refused to compromise his beliefs. At the beginning of 2000, he was transferred to Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang for a term of one year of "reeducation" through forced labor. He persisted in his beliefs. At the end of 2001, he was again taken away to be "reeducated" through forced labor, this time for three years. He went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution and later he walked out with his rightous thoughts. Before the 2002 Chinese New Year, he was sent to the Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp. On April 25, 2002, he was tortured with electric batons and violent beatings. His entire body became bloated and he was unable to walk for two weeks. In May, he was transferred to the Guanshan Forced Labor Camp in Changtu County, Liaoning Province. Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp claimed they were to "transform him at another location." On Novmeber 9, 2003, Li Xiaoyuan was tortured to death at the Guanshan Forced Labor Camp.

3. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp Enslaves and Tortures Falun Gong Practitioners

The 4th Brigade policemen at Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province tortured 65 year-old Ms Shi Yazhen with electric batons. On September 15, 2003, Ms. Gu Yan's husband visited her with their daughter. Brigade chief Zhang Guimei lied and cruelly told them that Gu Yan was not willing to see the child. In fact, they do not allow Falun Gong practitioners to see their families and also try to alienate Falun Gong practitioners from their families. On September 26, Ms. Liu Shuqin sustained injuries over her entire body from the electric batons. Ms Geng Liandi was tortured with electric batons until she lost control of her bowels. On December 16, Ms Gu Jinfen was tortured with electric batons on six separate occasions in one day by police.

Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp also forces detainees to work long hours. They rise at 5 a.m. After eating a minimal breakfast, people start to work at 7:20 a.m. and finish at 8 p.m. However in the 4th Brigade, it is not uncommon to have the workday extended to around 10 p.m. They harvest garlic, bind desk calendars or knit sweaters. During the day the police always force them to work quickly. The glue they use is toxic. Working 13 hour days tires the eyes, decreasing vision and making it difficult to rest. A number of practitioners suffer from hypertension-like symptoms (170~240/ 100~120). Zhang Xianqing's blood pressure did not drop for a few days. He was examined outside of the labor camp. The doctor testified that his blood pressure was high enough that there was a risk of a stroke and death.

[Note: Normal blood pressure is 90~120/60~90.]

Because Cao Xiaohua is a steadfast practitioner of Falun Gong and refuses to write "five statements", the detention term was illegally extended for nearly six months. The extended term was up in September 2003. However, Jilin Province "610 Office" directly sent Cao Xiaohua from Jiutai Forced Labor Camp to Xinglongshan Brainwashing Center in Changchun City, and tried to forcibly brainwash Cao. This brainwashing center also transferred collaborators [Former Falun Gong practitioners who have renounced their belief due to severe pressure and torture and now actively participate in the persecution against their fellow Falun Gong practitioners] and policemen from Hubei and Hunan Provinces and tried to tell Cao vicious lies. However, four months of brainwashing could not change Cao Xiaohua's firm heart. Because Cao did not renounce the belief, another sentence was waiting.. Recently more than 30 Falun Gong practitioners have been taken to the Xinglongshan Brainwashing Center. Some practitioners were deceived into going to the brainwashing center from work. Currently there are 2 or 3 practitioners including Cao Xiaohua suffering in the brainwashing center.
