(Minghui.org) On August 18, 2011 some of the Falun Gong practitioners detained at Beijing Women's Forced Labor Camp were transferred to Inner Mongolia Women's Forced Labor Camp located in Hohhot. For close to ten months, Wu Jing, head of the Second Division, instigated inmates to torture the practitioners.
Ms. Cong Peilan Detained, Monitored and Deprived of Sleep
One day in mid-April, 2012, Wu Jing sent Ms. Cong Peilan to a solitary confinement cell. Every day, Wu assigned two inmates to monitor Ms. Cong. She was forced to stand throughout the day until 2:00 a.m., and she was only allowed to sleep for three hours each night. She was not let out of the solitary confinement cell until April 26.
Division head Wu Jing took the lead to shock practitioner Ms. Miao Renying with an electric baton and instigated inmate Zhang Lingru to beat and scold practitioners.
Practitioner Ms. Wang Jiangbin refused to be “transformed,” thus in mid-January in 2012 the perpetrators instigated inmate Duan Lihui to monitor her. When Ms. Wang did not obey, Duan Lihui brutally beat her, scolded her, and slapped her face.
Once, Duan grabbed Ms. Wang's neck and did not let go until she was almost choked to death. Another time, Duan took Ms. Wang to the restroom and poured ice-cold water over her, drenching her from her head to her toes. In the past several months, Ms. Wang has been beaten and scolded by Duan and has been suffering greatly mentally.
On April 4, 2012, Duan Lihui kicked practitioner Ms. Gao Qunrong down to the restroom floor and kicked and scratched her hard. Ms. Gao's entire body was covered with black and purple bruises, and her forehead was scratched.
After practitioner Ms. Wang Junhua was transferred from Beijing to Inner Mongolia Women's Forced labor camp, she refused to wear the prison uniform and refused to do slave labor. In September 2011 Ms. Wang was locked up in a warehouse. At the end of September, Wu Jing instigated inmate Zhang Lingru to strip off Ms. Wang's clothing, leaving her wearing only her underwear. In order to further humiliate her, Wu Jing took pictures of Ms. Wang as she shivered from the cold. Afterwards, Zhang Lingru forcefully put the prison uniform on Ms. Wang and cuffed her hands for about half an hour.
While Ms. Wang was locked up in the warehouse, as a form of torture, Zhang Lingrun forced her to stand the entire day until 2:00 a.m. She was only allowed to sleep for three hours directly on the cold floor with one thin blanket. They tortured Ms. Wang physically and mentally for over ten days. Ms. Wang was not let out of the warehouse until October 12, 2011.
Slave Labor
Practitioners in the Second Division are made to stitch the openings of plastic woven bags for Xinde Plastic Industry Inc. Unloading and moving the products is hard physical work, and repetitively folding and stitching the bags is very tiring. In order to generate the greatest amount of money, the forced labor camp officials strictly regulate practitioners' workdays. Every day, they do this repetitive work for more than eight hours. They start working every morning at 7:45 – 11:30 a.m. and resume every afternoon from 2:00 – 6:30 p.m.
The practitioners are under huge mental pressure and they are physically drained. The guards in the forced labor camp treat them as slaves and force them to make money for them. The guards do not allow practitioners to talk. If they talk or try to explain, the team leader claims that they are not obeying orders and they are scolded or punished. Wu Jing restricted practitioners from even using the restroom during work hours, causing some practitioners to suffer greatly.
Inhumane Treatment in the Forced Labor Camp
Practitioners detained at the Inner Mongolia Forced Labor Camp have been under unimaginable mental pressure. Besides the overload of heavy-duty work and noise from the machinery in the workshop, practitioners are afraid to even drink water or use the toilet due to the extremely tight schedule and the pressure to finish their assigned work.
Liu Juan, head of the labor camp, Xiao Jie, deputy head, and Wang Dianyun changed the policy of having inmates work six hours per day to eight hours or even longer every day, which caused practitioners extreme fatigue.
