(Minghui.org) The Third Division of the First Brigade of Masanjia Forced Labor Camp is known for severely torturing Falun Gong practitioners. Practitioners held there are not allowed to talk to each other. There are currently twelve practitioners being detained there.

Cheng Xiuchang is a practitioner from Qingyuan County, Fushun City. He sentence is from January 15, 2011 to January 14, 2013. Because he refused to write the three statements, he was given ten “black flags.” One black flag represents a term extension of five days. He has been tortured at the whim of his captors. Guard Wang Fei often harasses him. He has pressured him to renounce his belief in Falun Gong and slapped him in the face.
