15. [Shandong Province] Crimes Committed in the No. 1 Female Forced Labor Camp of Shandong Province

Guards Sun Juan, Liu Jianhui, and Zhang Yongmei torture steadfast practitioners from Group No. 1 in the No. 1 Female Forced Labor Camp of Shandong Province. In August and September of 2004, they lied to the practitioners' family members and said, "Because we need to furnish our new building, you cannot see them for two months." In fact, they were using some of the rooms to torture the practitioners.

The guards used tape to seal the practitioners' mouths, and then tied them onto the iron shielding net on the windows, with their legs in the air. The guards took turns monitoring the practitioners to not allow them to go to sleep or use the restroom. Some practitioners lost control of their bowels and defecated in their pants. Some lost consciousness several times, and some were tied up this way for more than 40 days. Many practitioners' legs become severely swollen from this type of torture. After they are released from the net, they could not walk for some time. Even after one month, they still limped when walking. They could not raise their arms either.

A practitioner in her 70s was dragged away from her work and tortured. A practitioner shouted at the guard, "Good is rewarded with good, and evil meets evil; persecuting Falun Dafa is against the heavenly principles." The guard then sealed the practitioner's mouth with tape, and tried to tie her to a chair. The practitioner refused to cooperate with the persecutors and sat down on the floor. The guards then stepped on her hands with their leather shoes and beat her legs, causing black bruises on her hands and legs. She was later confined in a small, dark cell for seven days and only released because she had strong righteous thoughts. The practitioner's hands were so badly swollen that she could not hold a needle. Her face also had many bruises.

A practitioner, Yang Chengmei, who is a college student, was sent to the forced labor camp in October 2003. Because she was steadfast in her belief, the guards tied her to a bed, pulled her by the hair and knocked her head against the wall, pulling much of her hair in the process. Her new hair had only grown out 2 inches by June of 2004.
