Practitioner Ms. Xie Lijuan Has Suffered a Mental Collapse as a Result of Persecution at the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province

May 06, 2007 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Xie Lijuan from Changchun City, Jilin Province was illegally detained in the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp's First Division and has become mentally disoriented as a result of gross abuse under the persecution. The criminal police often forced her to take drugs. The more drugs she was forced to take, the more serious her symptoms became. Even so, policewoman Wei Dan still instructed inmates in prison for prostitution to monitor her. They not only deprived Ms. Xie of sleep, but also forced her to do manual labor.

Ms. Xie Lijuan is about 28 years old, unmarried, and a graduate of Jilin University. She was a former staff member at the Jilin Province Library, the only one there who holds a Master's degree. After the Chinese Communist Party started the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, Ms. Xie was sent to the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp for two years of forced labor. During those two years she suffered from savage tortures, including being shocked on her thighs and genitals with electric batons. This caused her serious mental trauma. When she eventually returned to her former workplace and petitioned to return to work, all departments rejected her appeal. The head of the library finally instructed her to find a job as a storekeeper.

In November 2006, Xie Lijuan was arrested again at her workplace and sent to the First Division at the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp.

They held her in the "reform" class, and the police there attempted to brainwash her. They also humiliated her by cutting her hair into a bizarre style.

A group of vicious policewomen headed by Wei Dan constantly tortured detained practitioners. They forbade practitioners to eat, deprived them of sleep and forced practitioners to sing Communist Party songs. The persecutors also forced them to read books that defamed Falun Gong, and to write reports and declarations to give up practicing Falun Gong. In addition, policewomen Wei Dan, Ye Jiong, Yan Lifeng and others brought practitioners who refused to be brainwashed to the fourth floor and tortured them there brutally. They force-fed practitioners, shocked them with electric batons, tied them to the "dead person's bed" and had one of the collaborators, Zhu Jiahui, further persecute practitioners.

Xie Lijuan has now become mentally disoriented. She is unable to look after herself and does not remember how to find her way home.

Xie Lijuan's home is in the countryside. Her father is now ill and bedridden. Her mother is not very well either because of anguish over the persecution that Xie Lijuan has suffered.
