(Clearwisdom.net) In August 2001, the guards at Qingdao City Labor Camp placed determined Dafa practitioners under "strict control" to persecute them. They forced the practitioners to sit on small stools for long periods of time. One month later, the practitioners' skin had ulcerated. Guard Leng Jiaguang said in a cold and menacing voice, "You can sit there as long as you refuse to "reform"; it's a long time until your three-year term expires." One practitioner realized that we should not cooperate with the evil and we should protest with a hunger strike to change the terrible environment. Many practitioners were afraid to take part in it. In order to alleviate the persecution of the fellow practitioners, that practitioner put down his attachment to life and death, wrote a letter to his son and went on a hunger strike.

Within three days, 32 Dafa practitioners joined the hunger strike. The guards were furious and savagely beat the practitioners. Division head Ji Qiangguo said to the collaborators, "You can do anything with them as long as you don't kill them." Collaborator Gong Chuiai said to practitioners Huang Xike and Xue Xiangjun on many occasions, "The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) said that if you don't reform and give up Falun Gong we won't be held responsible if we beat you to death!"

Regarding this issue, one practitioner once had a chance confrontation with the deputy head of the Provincial Labor Reeducation Bureau. Guard Leng Jiaguang said to someone from his hometown that determined Falun Gong practitioners would be sent to a northwest labor camp that is actually a concentration camp, from where they could never return. I thought the guards were bluffing and I didn't take it seriously. Now that I have read the reports on the Sujiatun Concentration Camp and the practice of harvesting organs from living practitioners in other labor camps, I know that the guard was revealing some facts.

I remember one determined practitioner from Chengyang who was beaten until his body was black and blue. Guard Wang Bin feared the practitioner might be dead, so he sent two doctors to check on him each day. Once, collaborator Liang Gui slapped the practitioner with the sole of his leather shoes for nearly one hour until his entire face swelled up and became deformed. Political secretary Dai Changfa humiliated him in public, "Look at you, you are ghastly from practicing Falun Gong; you are sub-human." Two months later, this Dafa practitioner still had not recovered from his injuries.

In order to win the top award, the Qingdao Labor Camp officials wanted to be interviewed by reporters from CCTV's Focal Point Interview [a show on the state-run central TV station]. To earn bonus money and promotion, Wang Bin, the political head of Group 2 told the collaborators that they could "help the practitioners eliminate their karma by beating them if they refuse to 'reform!'"

On August 22, 2002 a practitioner wrote an announcement saying he would continue to practice Dafa. Political secretary Dai Changfa feared he would lose his bonus money and screamed at a group meeting. He cursed at the practitioners during another group meeting saying, "Why don't you think about it? Why did the government issue us rubber tubes, electric batons and handcuffs? Aren't they made just for you?"

The crimes that have taken place there are too numerous to list here. They reveal the wickedness of the CCP.

Practitioner Wang Hui from Laixi gave up Dafa after being savagely beaten, and yet the perpetrators still proceeded to beat him until he was in a half-vegetative state and he could not take care of himself.

I will testify to this atrocity when necessary.
