Persecution at Wangcun Women's Forced Labor Camp in Shandong Province

October 12, 2007 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) Since the persecution began on July 20, 1999, the guards at the Wangcun Women's Forced Labor Camp in Shandong Province have committed the heinous crime of following the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s orders to brutally persecute the Falun Gong practitioners that they have illegally detained there. The means they have utilized to persecute practitioners include force-feeding, depriving practitioners of sleep, and torture. The CCP also detains people that have religious affiliations and tries to use these people to conduct the so-called "transformation" of Falun Dafa practitioners.

I am writing this article to expose some of the persecution that I have experienced or witnessed while being detained. What I am exposing here is only a small part of what the evil has done to persecute practitioners. A female practitioner from Qingdao City was force-fed around 50 times and each time, the authorities fined her 70 yuan. The practitioner was force-fed with human waste. Another female practitioner from Rizhao City was deprived of sleep during the night, forced to stand up the whole time, and had to endure physical brutality from the collaborators that were enlisted by the CCP guards. While one of the practitioners was being force-fed, two prison guards, named Yan Yan and Dong Bo, stood on her stomach with great force to torture her. They handcuffed her and dragged her across the floor when taking her inside or outside.

Guards Yang Jinhong and Wu Xiuli wrote words that defamed Dafa on one practitioner's back. They also made drawings on paper with words to defame and slander Dafa and they tried to force practitioners to acknowledge them. Also, they wrote terms that said good things about Dafa then tried to force practitioners to stand on them in an act of disgrace. If the practitioners did not cooperate, the guards physically assaulted them and also deprived them of sleep. A nearly 60-year-old female practitioner was deprived of sleep for 13 days straight because she did not cooperate with the unreasonable demands. The prison guards are often very hypocritical by claiming that they do not torture practitioners. However, this is only their surface level appearance and once they find out that you are not cooperating, they show their true nature by using heinous means to cruelly persecute detained practitioners. Some practitioners had their clothes torn from their bodies and the authorities used bamboo spikes to stab and wound them. A very old woman was tortured to the extent that she had difficulty moving and could not take care of herself anymore.

The illegally detained practitioners here are forced to do heavy manual labor for over 10 hours a day. Practitioners sometimes made lotus flowers which would cause some prison guards to become frightened, showing fear and paranoia on their faces. They would then try to force those practitioners to write statements that defame Dafa. The guards are also currently using other detained people who have religious affiliations to try to "transform" Falun Dafa practitioners. The guards even use holidays and vacations to attempt to force practitioners to give up their belief in Falun Dafa. They have even created a textbook filled with lies and fabrications to attempt to brainwash detained practitioners.
