2. Wu Tainxing from the National Security Brigade of Guangde County Anhui Province Arrests and Extorts Money from Falun Dafa Practitioners

Wu Taixing from the national security brigade of Guangde County Anhui Province made a fortune by arresting practitioners and extorting money from them for several years. Almost 50 Falun Dafa practitioners were illegally arrested, sentenced and had their homes searched and ransacked by Wu Taixing. Practitioners who did not give him money were sentenced. For example, Wu Taixing wanted to extort money from Tang's family, bypassing Tang Deheng's release procedure. He got nothing during Tang Deheng's four month detention. As a result, he was very angry and sent Tang Deheng to a forced labor camp on December 9, 2004.

3. The Barbaric Slavery at Anhui Women's Forced Labor Camp

In Anhui Women's Forced Labor Camp, inmates were forced to work from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and often worked until midnight and 1 a.m. in the morning. Accidents where a needle from the machine pierced a worker's hand occurred repeatedly due to insufficient sleep. Practitioners were treated even harsher. Shao Bixia, Ji Bangxia, Tang Deheng, Wu Jufeng and Nie Yinzhen were forced to work for more than 18 hours every day. They are all in their 50s. The police ordered them to move heavy goods back and forth between second and third floors. Wang Ping was put in solitary confinement for a long time. Duan Gunhua was shocked by an electric baton on her face, which left a permanent scar. At the end of 2004, the police officer Chen Xiaolin tied up Shao Bixia's hands and feet and force fed her medicine four times a day, and poured cool water down her head.
