(Clearwisdom.net) Since Jiang's regime started persecuting Falun Dafa in 1999, Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp in Changsha City, Hunan Province, has illegally detained many Falun Gong practitioners. The police and others manipulated by the CCP have done terrible things. Practitioners are severely tortured in that place every day. The following are a few examples.
Mr. Zeng Zhaoqin, in his 50s, has been detained in forced labor camps twice. He was threatened and ordered to write the three statements and material that slandered Falun Gong right after arriving at the camp. He tried to clarify the facts to Mr. He, the head of his labor group, by telling him about the positive changes he experienced after practicing Falun Gong. Mr. Zeng also told him, "I will never write the statements even if I die." Mr. He ordered several prisoners, including the leader of the "squeeze control" team, a member of the "squeeze control," and a guard on duty. They took turns trying to force Mr. Zeng to write the three statements. When he refused, they forced him to stand upright with his hands touching his legs. Then they placed a piece of paper between his legs. If the piece of paper fell, the prisoners beat him. The constant physical punishment was so severe that he could no longer endure it. After half a month of torture, with no physical strength remaining, two "squeeze controllers" held Mr. Zeng's right hand and forced him to copy the "three statements" prepared beforehand. After a few more months of torture, he could hardly stand and could only walk slowly while holding onto something.
There was another elderly practitioner who was forced to write the three statements under the same circumstances. He was transferred to District A and detained in a cell. There were also five to six practitioners detained there. Each one of them was monitored by one "squeeze controller" and the practitioners could not talk to each other. If they did, the "squeeze controllers" would beat them. This elderly practitioner saw the words, "Your Crime: Falun Gong" written on his bed. He secretly erased the word "crime" but was later caught by prison guards. He was verbally abused and put under a lot of mental hardship. Although he did not write the three statements willingly, he felt he betrayed Master.
One day he told the deputy head of the prison group, a man named Dou, to cancel the three statements. Dou became furious and immediately told him to rewrite the statements to review his "mistakes." The practitioner refused and was forced to sit on a small stool as a punishment. It is very uncomfortable sitting on a small stool, and the buttocks soon fester. The practitioner asked for some water, but Dou refused. He said, "Didn't you say you wanted to cancel the three statements? We will cancel drinking as well." The practitioner asked for permission to go to the bathroom, and Dou refused as well. He said, "Didn't you say you wanted to cancel the three statements? Then you have to cancel going to the bathroom, too." The "squeeze controllers" took turns, monitoring him in three shifts. The practitioner was forbidden to sleep for the entire day, except from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. After a long period of torture, he was so sleepy that he would fall asleep while eating. After seven days and nights of torture, he unwillingly wrote a "regret statement" when he could no longer tolerate the torture and was released to District A half a month later.
Mr. Zhang Xianzhao, also in his 60s, refused to cooperate when they forced him to watch the fabricated self-immolation video and other videotapes used to "transform" practitioners. He also refused to write the three statements. He was then transferred from District B to District C. District C is the most evil district, used to specifically persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. There was nothing in the room and he could only stand. After over 20 days of the standing punishment, he wrote the statements when he could no longer tolerate the torture. He was then transferred back to District B and eventually released after being constant torture.
Another practitioner was almost chocked to death after he yelled, "Falun Dafa is good!" His throat became swollen and could not eat for a long time. He could not look after himself and could not control his bodily functions. His ear also festered and became infected after being yanked. He was tortured until he became paralyzed and needed injections to survive. Only then was he released.
Another Falun Dafa assistant, in his 40s, was sentenced to two years of forced labor. He became so thin after constant torture that he could hardly stand.
Mr. Liu Heqing, in his 30s, had previously left the forced labor camp with strong righteous thoughts. Unfortunately, he was again sentenced to forced labor in March 2005. He was beaten after he yelled, "Falun Dafa is good!" He fainted and was carried to a closed room. When he came to, he started yelling, "Falun Dafa is goo!" He continued to yell when others were eating. Those in charge handcuffed him and punched his chest and stomach. All of his teeth fell out after the beating. Although he was beaten with sticks and electric batons, he still yelled, "Falun Dafa is good!" They used a long needle to puncture his tongue, pulled a threaded needle through it, and tied the thread to a weight. After that horrific torture, Mr. Liu could no longer talk nor look after himself. He became mentally unstable.
The above cases were collected from the experiences of several illegally detained practitioners. The practitioners who reported their experiences were themselves incarcerated, so their understanding of the overall situation is limited. The crimes that the Chinese Communist Party have committed are too brutal and too severe to be adequately recorded.
