Slave Labor Inside Banqiao Women's Forced Labor Camp in Tianjin

(Clearwisdom.net)

There are 120 to 130 practitioners illegally held in Banqiao Women's Forced Labor Camp in the Dagang District of Tianjin City. They are divided into three teams.

Liu Xiaohong, the former team leader of No. 1 Team, was notorious for persecuting practitioners. She has moved to the Labor Department and is busy soliciting jobs outside of the labor camp and slave labor for the practitioners inside. In the No. 2 Team of the sewing factory, practitioners were forced to work long hours and to work overtime in making dark green and orange-yellow mixed pattern raincoats to export to Korea. From May 21 to 27, practitioners were forced to work from 5 a.m. until 1 a.m.. They had to work seven to eight hours straight and were not allowed even a sip of water; there was even a restriction imposed on bathroom breaks. Besides those who operate sewing machines, a majority of the practitioners are over 45 years old. Some of them have hypertension, which is worsened by the slave labor, and some of them were so tired they could not sleep at night. Before one assignment was complete, the guards accepted another assignment for more complicated raincoats also exported to Korea. (Labor Camp Director Hao Demin, Superintendent Yang, and Superintendent Li all claimed that working overtime is forbidden.)

Persecution of Practitioners in Yanbian Forced Labor Camp

(Clearwisdom.net) Since late 1999, the Yanbian Forced Labor Camp in Jilin Province has been a key location for the Chinese Communist Party to recklessly persecute Falun Gong practitioners.

Camp authorities have subjected practitioners to various types of torture. Guards constructed special steel cages for solitary confinement. These cages are intentionally placed near the very cold west entrance on the first floor. Practitioner Wang Tiesong died in one of these cages.
