Cases of Persecution of Dafa Practitioners at the Masanjia Labor Camp
(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Wang Yan, from the Xigang District in Dalian City is around 37 years old and has a college degree. She was illegally imprisoned in the forced labor camp, which is officially titled the Masanjia Ideology Education School's No. 1 Division, No. 6 Subdivision, for about two years where she was subjected to torture. She was imprisoned for an extended period in a small cell, a triangular room created specially for persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. Because she went on a hunger strike to protest the constant propaganda that was broadcast to defame Falun Dafa and incite hatred among the labor camp detainees, she was shackled to a bench in this triangular room. She was locked and force-fed daily as a form of torture rather than to save her life. Ms. Wang became severely emaciated as a result. In a vicious campaign of suppression in December 2002, directed against Dafa practitioners which officials called the "Spring Thunder Action", Wang Yan was forced to squat on the ground for extended periods. The guards used all kinds of torture methods to force her to renounce her belief in Falun Dafa. Later, Wang Yan refused to comply with the authorities persecution against her and retracted any coerced statements that she made under torture that were contrary to the principles of Falun Dafa. She was then strictly controlled by the authorities and subjected to further torture. Later Ms. Wang was transferred to a mental hospital where she was slated for further persecution. We have since learned from her younger sister that Wang Yan was tortured to death.
