The Facts of the Persecution of Falun
Gong -- October
26, 2005
Issued by Clearwisdom Net
Chaoyangou Forced Labor Camp was originally under the jurisdiction of the Changchun City Judicial Bureau. Since July 20, 1999, when the persecution started, the labor camp has closely followed CCP and Jiang Zemin's political regime and has brutally persecuted Falun Gong practitioners using all kinds of methods.
In December 2000, the Jilin Province CCP Committee and the provincial government designated the Chaoyangou forced Labor Camp as a "brainwashing base" to detain Falun Gong practitioners who were sentenced to forced labor. All male practitioners from the whole province (except the Baicheng and Yanbian regions) were sent there. Led by the provincial 610 Office, the labor camp has conducted comprehensive persecution of the detained practitioners. This so-called "transformation" base tramples on human rights. An investigation shows that at least 18 practitioners died there due to the persecution and many practitioners have been injured or disabled.
Falun Gong practitioners keep clarifying the truth to help to rescue the Chinese people who are deceived by the CCP's lies. To destroy people's will, the Chaoyangou Forced Labor Camp has tortured kind people in the most vicious ways, making it the chief place in the province for the violation of human rights. Details of methods of abuse and mistreatment include inciting prisoners by means of rewards and promises of reduction of their prison terms if they openly beat practitioners. They also include using torture, recklessly maltreating practitioners, forcing practitioners to work beyond their capacities, long-term sleep deprivation and forcing practitioners to write a guarantee statement to give up their belief. The mental torment, economic ruin and ruthless physical torture in the labor camp are unprecedented in their terror and cruelty.
Here we expose some of these crimes committed in the labor camp.
I. Mental Torment
Since July 20, 1999, all Falun Gong practitioners have been under mental oppression. The Party has used its control of all media, including TV and newspapers, to slander Falun Gong and Teacher. Practitioners are followed by the police and have their activities limited; they are called to local police stations to be questioned; police harass them at their homes; their homes are searched, their property is confiscated and they are detained for long periods.
Led by Wang Yanwei and Wang Jiangang, the heads of the Chaoyangou Forced Labor Camp, the labor camp has adopted brutal measures to forcibly brainwash about a thousand detained practitioners; these methods include group attacking, designating inmates as "personal monitors" to closely supervise practitioners, sleep deprivation and forcing them to write the Three Statements (a guarantee letter, a repentance letter and a dissociation statement). They try to force practitioners to give up their belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and to acknowledge and feel grateful for this persecution against their conscience.
Forced Indoctrination
In order to obtain the "Three Statements" the camp police force practitioners to watch TV programs and over ten kinds of video materials that slander and frame Falun Gong. Then they force them to discuss their "feelings." Those who do not say what the prison police want to hear are tortured. In creating the video programs, the screenwriters fabricate many facts and smear practitioners using an artistic format to deceive and poison the minds of the world's people. Every day at a fixed time, practitioners are forced to listen to or read out loud books that slander Falun Gong. If they refuse, they are beaten. Many practitioners have suffered brutal beatings because they would not cooperate. Once the police designated twenty inmates in the Xinsheng Group to brutally beat countless practitioners. They also regularly play VCDs that slander Falun Gong and they try to force practitioners to write reviews. They then use these to determine what specific brainwashing and torture methods they will use on the practitioner.
Zhu Shenlin is a police officer in the 2nd Group who has edited many songs and created rhymed patterns that slander Falun Gong. They forced practitioners to learn and to sing those songs. The 7th Group detains mainly practitioners who have yielded to the torture and brainwashing. Early every morning, the head of the group demands that these practitioners recite an article entitled, "Ten Criticisms" ("Ten Criticisms" viciously attacks Falun Gong, Teacher Li and practitioners). Then they read books that slander Falun Gong in the morning and give "in-depth" speeches (that is, criticisms) that are recorded.
Degeneration Education
The labor camp specifically established the 7th Group for brainwashing practitioners. All other groups send those practitioners in their group who have yielded to the persecution to the 7th Group. In the 7th Group, practitioners are forced to watch videos that slander and frame Falun Gong, to read all kinds of books that are against Falun Gong, and to attend classes opposing Falun Gong. They are encouraged to scold others, to fight and to smoke. Once they develop such bad behavior they are considered successfully "transformed." What they call success is to transform a person who believes in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" into a person who has bad habits and does bad things.
The objective of the 7th Group is to divert practitioners' minds from "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" for a long time. Everyone there is required to write two reports about their thoughts every month, each containing at least one sentence that slanders Falun Gong and Teacher. If such "education" fails, the practitioner is transferred to another group to suffer more intense persecution.
Inducements and Threats
Gao Zhilu is one of the prison guards in the labor camp who targets practitioners during brainwashing. During the "storming of heavily fortified positions" in April 2002, he yelled again and again at newly arrived practitioners, "Let me see who can still persist once you are assigned to a group for a few days. You will all taste what is called 'the dictatorship of the proletariat.' The Party gives me money; therefore I will do whatever it wants me to do and in whatever way it asks me to do it. Otherwise who will give me money? What is Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance? The Party doesn't want you to practice; you should then give it up. There is only one way for you to go - to give up and be transformed. Listen to this!" ( He referred to the painful scrams of the practitioners suffering brutal beatings.)
The practitioners then spoke righteously, to refute what the police officer said. This left Gao Zhilu speechless.
Using torture methods to transform practitioners
Before the UN Human Rights Commission meeting in 2000, the prison guards from each group in the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp gathered Falun Gong practitioners and told them, "At present, a nation-wide campaign against Falun Gong has been launched by CCP and we are required to achieve a goal of an over 95% "transformation rate." Thus, all you Falun Gong practitioners need to write the "three statements," regardless of circumstances, even if it is against your conscience, because it is an order from the upper management. If you don't cooperate, we will lose our jobs, so we are allowed to use any method we want on you. We will not bear any responsibility even if we beat you to death. Now is the time to have you experience 'totalitarianism.'"
As a result, prison guard Wang Tao from the 1st Squadron in the 6th Group violently beat Falun Gong practitioner Jiao Shoutong with electric batons, batons, bamboo sticks, metal wires and other items, making his face swollen and disfigured. He was full of bruises and was bleeding. Because Mr. Jiao refused to write the "three statements," the next day when his wounds were about to stop bleeding, they dragged him out to be beaten again, causing all the cuts to re-open and blood to drip down his face.
Falun Gong practitioner Xing Yueshan suffered the same torture methods as well. He has been beaten savagely each time his wounds were about to heal.
Falun Gong practitioner Ma Shengbo was jailed at the 3rd Squadron of the 6th Group. On a snowy day, group head Li Zhongbo and prison guard Liu Yan stripped Mr. Ma, opened all the doors and windows and poured cold water, straight from the cold well outside, all over him, chilling him to the bone. Mr. Ma started to shiver, developed cramps and then crouched on the icy cold floor. He soon lost consciousness and had spasms. Yet, the police still shouted at him, "Are you going to write the statement or not?"
Seeing no response, since he was unconscious, the police started to beat Mr. Ma with a bamboo stick, chopping him and leaving traces of long bloody cuts on his exposed body. In addition, the police ordered inmates to spread salt on his body and pour spicy water into his mouth They awakened him. Then they pulled his legs and dragged him back and forth on the ground with his face pointing downward and his open wounds rubbing against the floor.
Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhong Xi protested this atrocity. He was hoping to call on the guards' consciences and make them stop their inhuman treatment of practitioners. The guards simply ignored him and even increased the abuse. They tortured Mr. Zhong again. His cuts were just stitched up and there was still wet blood on his body. However, the police still tortured him. They handcuffed him and hung him up high. They poured cold water on him before shocking him with electric batons and beating him with police batons. When one felt tired, the other took a turn beating him. Later, the camp head Wang Wei came. He not only didn't stop them, he urged them to continue saying, "Beat him! Beat him until he agrees to write the 'three statements'!"
Police officer Wang Tao used a triangular belt to lash Mr. Zhong. As a result, a big bump appeared on his face and his mouth became distorted. Others hardly recognized him and he had great difficulty eating.
For a whole day, five guards violently beat Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Yu Chunbo with police batons and electric batons. After he returned from the beating, his whole body looked purplish blue and he could not walk.
Humiliate Falun Gong practitioners
The police verbally abused Falun Gong practitioners in front of others and demanded that they curse Teacher and Falun Gong and write articles to criticize Falun Gong. Because practitioners were steadfast in their belief and would not give in, even in the face of torture, the guards sneered at them while tormenting them, "Didn't you say that you had your Teacher's protection? Why don't you hurry up and ask your Teacher for help?"
On April 6, 2002, the police hung signs on firm practitioners' chests and paraded them around in the cells. They ordered the inmates to shout criticism at them. Those who did not shout at them were beaten. They called it, "The Second Cultural Revolution." On April 9, they had a "mobilization meeting," during which the police publicly humiliated a steadfast practitioner. They forcibly hung a sign with slanderous words on his neck.
Police and gangsters worked together as one
In other countries, a criminal is someone who has harmed society, committing such acts as stealing, robbery, swindling others, taking drugs or other illegal acts. However, people who have committed such crimes receive favorable treatment in the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp and have even become key management personnel. The supervisory police appoint them as the "person on duty" or the "team leader" and they all work together to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.
Once the practitioners are sent to the forced labor camp, two inmates, called "personal monitors," closely watch them at all times. From then on, the practitioners' every word and action are monitored, even during mealtime and when using the toilet. The team leaders are usually the worst criminals; yet, the labor camp authorities often give them face-to-face training on how to intensely persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Once at a meeting with the "person-on-duty," the management section head said, "Why do Falun Gong practitioners dare to go on a hunger strike? It is because we haven't applied enough pressure on them!" Such sayings as, "not enough pressure" and the training "beating as normal management" demonstrate that the law is not enforced in the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp.
For the "freshman class" in the 5th Group, the police have selected those most wicked and fiercest criminals in advance to carry out the persecution. They shave all the hair from newly arrived practitioners' heads, remove all their clothes, pour 30 basins of cold water on them from head to toe (more on those who protest), and then open up all windows and doors to expose the practitioners to the cold. After that, practitioners are forced to stand still, facing the wall or stoop down for long hours without lifting up their heads. If they resist even a little, the guards or inmates slap them in the face or kick and punch their bodies. After several hours' torment, they force the practitioners to sit on a small stool, with their backs straight, with two monitors closely watching them.
(To be continued)
At the Shengli Hospital of the Shengli Oil Field Eighth Group in Shandong Province, some staff members have used the mental illness department to torture Falun Gong practitioners over the past six years.
Based on the incomplete statistics on Falun Gong practitioners at Shengli Oil Field, five Falun Gong practitioners have been sent to the mental illness department of Shengli hospital by the 610 Office, communist party officials and Shengli Oil Field management. Those practitioners include Jiang Haishong and Li Xiaodong.
The medical staff at the mental illness department falsely diagnosed practitioners as having mental problems, and then put them together with real mental patients and subjected them to "treatment." Using medication to torture practitioners, they hope to "transform" them into real mental patients.
These doctors forced practitioners to wear white clothes and white hats while some nurses forced them to take drugs and receive injections every day. They wanted to destroy practitioners' bodies with the unidentified drugs. One practitioner was tortured there for one month, during which time he suffered severe swelling of the head. Over one month later he still had not recovered.

Several women practitioners were illegally detained at the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp and suffered inhuman tortures.
Ms. Li Ping is over 50 years old and is from Lingyi City, Shandong Province. She was sentenced to forced labor on September 30, 2004. She suffered unimaginable tortures at that camp for assertively refusing to give up Falun Gong. In a one-month period, Ms. Li was permitted only three nights' sleep. During the daytime she was forced to sit on a small backless stool and at night she was punished by having to stand for long hours. Because of long-term lack of sleep she frequently fell down while standing, often injuring her face and head.
Late one night, when Ms. Li Ping hadn't slept for many days, police officer Yan Yan and the collaborators Zhu Ling and An Dehua attacked her.
On November 14, 2004, police officer Wang Hua and others tied Li Ping with ropes and put her into a corner of a restroom the size of only several square meters. For six months she was not allowed to leave the restroom even half a step and was completely isolated from the outside world. During that period she was unable to take a shower or wash her hair.
On May 20, 2005 when everyone in the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp moved to a new building, Li Ping finally left that small restroom and was then detained in the library. She was still not allowed to leave that room and was guarded by several people specifically assigned to monitor her. She had to relieve herself in a bucket.
After long-term physical torture and extreme pressure and mental torment from threats and intimidation, Li Ping suffered a mental collapse. Now she keeps saying, "What crime have I committed? All I did is just practice qigong."
Ms. Gao Mingxia, over 40 years old, is from Qingdao City, Shandong Province. She was sentenced to forced labor in May 2004. At the end of October the authorities detained her in a single cell for one month. Police officers Li Ying and Li Yuan tied Ms. Gao with a special belt and did not give her any food for four days. They claimed that if she died from hunger it would be noted as her own fault from being on a hunger strike. She was not allowed to sleep at night and was handcuffed and not allowed to go to the restroom. Since being sent to Wangcun, Ms. Gao has slept on the floor the whole time. For several months she was not allowed to take a shower and change her clothes. She had to relieve herself in a bucket in the cell.
Ms. Wang Chuanlian, over 20 years old, is from Muping, Yantai City, Shandong Province. She was sentenced to forced labor in June 2004. Between the end of June and early August, for a period of more than one month, Ms. Wang was not allowed to lie down to sleep, even just once. Deputy Group Head Sun and police officer Wu Xiuli took turns to torture her day and night. Collaborators Liu Guangxia (from Binzhou), Miao Yuxiang (from Jiaozhou), Yu Ruiying (from Haiyang) and others surrounded her in groups of three shifts to slander Falun Gong. Wang Chuanlian was punished by being forced to stand or squat for a long time and was not allowed to go to the restroom. As a result, she had to urinate in her pants on cold winter days. When she sat on the ground when being forced to stand, police officer Wu Xiuli ordered collaborator Wang Yuping to dump water on the ground. On January 1, 2005, a window blind was put on Wang Chunlian's cell. Ms. Wang was tied up and was not allowed to sleep or go to the restroom. She suffered all kinds of torture, instigated by the group deputy surnamed Sun. The window blind was closed for over half a month.
Ms. Jiang Cui, in her twenties, is from Weihai City, Shandong Province. She was sentenced to forced labor on March 6, 2005. Because she refused to cooperate with the unreasonable demands of the authorities, although she was very weak and unable to walk normally, the police still brought her to the forced labor camp. She was deprived of the basic rights of a normal existence, including sleeping, taking a shower, changing her clothes or even going to the restroom. Police officer Fang Niafeng and the collaborator Gao Jianxin (from Binzhou) punched her on her chest. Ms. Jiang was threatened with having her term extended, with not being given permission to go home and with torture. Although the police played all kinds of tricks and implemented all kinds of persecution methods, they still failed to brainwash Jiang Cui. Early in August 2005, Jiang Cui publicly called out loud, "Falun Dafa is great!" She was immediately sent to an isolation cell where there was a low, death bed with handcuffs on the four corners of the bed. Details of the abuses Ms. Jiang suffered there are unknown.
Ms. Jiang Cuie, 63 years old, is from Rushan, Weihai City, Shandong Province. She was sentenced to forced labor on April 6, 2005. Although the police and collaborators in the labor camp kept spreading lies and slandering Falun Gong for nearly 20 hours a day, Ms. Jiang refused to listen to them, much less to believe them. On July 1, 2005 she was detained in an isolation cell and kept there for one month and was not allowed to sleep. Currently, Jiang Cuie is still being detained in the police office. She has to relieve herself in a bucket and is only allowed to sleep very little every day.
Ms. Zhu Lixin, over thirty years old, is from Laixi, Shandong Province. She was sentenced to forced labor on September 30, 2002. She suffered long-term persecution and was forbidden to sleep. She was only allowed to move within a circle in the corner of her cell, eating and relieving herself in the same space. The perpetrators took three shifts to barrage her with slandering words and verbally abuse her. On November 21, 2003, with the assistance from Qingdao Forced Labor Camp, the camp started another wave of persecution against Ms. Zhu. The Party head from Qingdao Forced Labor Camp, Jiang Hongxing, brought Group Heads Yao and Wang, and two collaborators, Sun (from Jimo) and Wang Yuxing (from Pingdu). Led by Section Head Xiao and Group Head Wang Huiying, five people from the Qingdao camp plus four from Wangcun, including police officers Zhang Guirong, Yan Yan, Huang Bo, collaborators Pan Shujie (from Weifang), Zhang Jiamei (from Mupin) started to abuse, torment and mistreat Zhu Lixin. This round of persecution lasted nearly one month.
They set up in a large room on the second floor of the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp building. There was no heating system in the room and it was freezing cold. Initially, Group Head Yao, the police and the collaborators pretended to be kind and very warmhearted. Once they found out that their hypocritical ways didn't work to "transform" Ms. Zhu, they changed their tactics and started to slander Falun Gong to force Zhu Lixin to give up the practice. Six days later, on November 27, having failed to achieve their goal, they started to deprive Zhu Lixin of sleep, and did not allow her to sleep for 20 days. During that period, for over several hundred hours, she was not allowed to sit down, to eat, to wash her face or brush her teeth. For over ten days she was not permitted regular toilet use and could only go once, at 2:00 a.m. or 3:00 a.m. If police officer Wang was in a good mood, Zhu Lixin might be allowed to sleep for five minutes each day. One day, after sleeping for five minutes, Zhu Lixin was still unable to wake up. Collaborators Wang Yuxing (male) and Pan Shujie (female) held Ms. Zhu and bumped her head against a wall, then threw her on the ground and even dragged her across the ground while running. It is not known how long it took to finally wake her up.
Because of long-term sleep deprivation, Zhu Lixin's legs swelled severely until they looked like a water bucket. Since she was not allowed to sit, she had to move her swollen legs slowly, step by step. Police officer Huang Bo still tugged on her to make her run, in spite of her condition. Because Ms. Zhu's hands were down at her sides for so long, her hands eventually turned dark red and the blood vessels in the hands seemed as if they were going to break.
Zhu Lixin was unable to move round. The following perpetrators, nevertheless, continued to torment her: police officer Yan Yan, Zhang Guirong, Huang Bo, the head of the group Chen (from Qingdao Forced Labor Camp, the replacement for the former group head Yao after he left), and a person surnamed Wang. They punished Ms. Zhu by forcing her to squat and threatened to shock her with an electric baton, use poisonous snakes to attack her, and other atrocities. When Zhu Lixin was unable to hold on and had to sit on the ground, police officer Wang put her on the torture tool called the tiger bench. She was held on the ground; her legs were raised up and put onto a high stool. Wang stomped hard on her legs, making Zhu's whole body shake from the pain. When she refused to squat down and sat on the ground, police officer Zhang Guirong and Group Head Chen raised her clothes up and wrote words that slandered Falun Gong on her back.
Through continuous lack of sleep, no sitting, no restroom use and being extremely cold and hungry, Zhu Lixin was tortured to the edge of death. She even had difficulty breathing. The wicked people, though, still didn't give up. Every night after midnight, police officer Wang beat Zhu Lixin on the face and head with a hard plastic stick or the leg from a stool, making her mouth bleed and bumps the size of an egg to develop all over her head.
Collaborator Zhang Jiamei in particular kicked Zhu Lixin on her calf and battered her fiercely on her lower back with dozens of blows every day for more than ten days. The collaborator Sun hit Zhu Lixin's shoulder every day, causing her right shoulder to appear lower than the other side. The December weather was extremely cold. When Zhu Lixin was dozing off while being forced to stand for a long time, police officer Wang poured cold water on her head and threw her on the ground. Police officers Yan and Wang even said, "We will inject you with drugs to make you addicted to them. Let's see whether you still want to practice Falun Gong when your addiction increases."
For three years, Zhu Lixin was not permitted any calls home. Police officers Liu Qing and Wu Xiuli didn't allow anyone to talk to her. She was not permitted to buy fruit or other foods. Zhu Lixin once questioned the police, "You say we [Falun Gong practitioners] are bad, but we practitioners never treat any of you in such vicious ways. Who is righteous and who is evil?"
We call on all kind people to help us stop the persecution!
Mr. Wang Fengcai and his wife, Ms. Shao Yuzhi, are Falun Gong practitioners from Zhennanshan Village, Tianyi Town, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City in Inner Mongolia. Because of practicing Falun Gong, Mr. Wang has been illegally incarcerated in the Fourth Jail of Chifeng City, and Ms. Shao is imprisoned in a forced labor camp in Inner Mongolia. Unable to withstand such a blow to her family, Mr. Wang's mother passed away, leaving the couple's 20-year-old son to take care of his 14-year-old younger sister at home in difficult circumstances.
On April 24, 2001, Ms. Shao Yuzhi was illegally arrested for making Falun Gong truth-clarification materials. Police officers from the National Security Group of the Ningcheng County Police Station sent her to the Tumuji Forced Labor Camp for a year. She was released in April 2002.
After Ms. Shao was arrested, her mother-in-law was so frightened that she suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage and became completely paralyzed. Since Ms. Shao's husband, Mr. Wang Fengcai, was working out of town at that time and no one else could take care of his mother, their 17-year-old son, Wang Jie, had to quit school to look after his grandmother.
In June 2002, Ms. Shao Yuzhi was arrested again for reading a Falun Gong book on a train to Yebaishou, Liaoning Province. She was first detained in a Ningcheng Detention Center and then was sent to a brainwashing program. Coerced by the 610 Office officials, she compromised and paid a 200-yuan fine. Later she stated that her written "guarantee statement" promising not to practice Falun Gong was invalid. As a result the police started to search for her again and she was compelled to become destitute and homeless.
In May 2003, Ms. Shao Yuzhi returned home to take care of her mother-in-law. Two months later, someone who didn't know the truth about the persecution discovered that Ms. Shao was at home and reported her to the authorities. On July 4, 2003, she was arrested for the third time and detained in the Ningcheng County Detention Center. She was later sentenced to three years in the Inner Mongolia Forced Labor Camp.
While Ms. Shao Yuzhi was in the forced labor camp, the police discovered her husband, Mr. Wang Fengcai, making Falun Gong truth-clarification materials. Mr. Wang fled. He became destitute and homeless and dared not return home, thus leaving his paralyzed mother and two children at home. His mother was sick in bed for a long time. Her grandson, Wang Jie, had to manage her food and drink and use of the toilet. When his mother passed away, Mr. Wang's brother took care of the funeral.
On November 27, 2004, Wang Fengcai returned to Ningcheng County's Yikenzhong Area to distribute Falun Gong truth-clarification materials and was arrested after being reported. His motorcycle was taken away. Mr. Wang was detained at the Ningcheng County Detention Center until June 25, 2005, when he was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in the Fourth Prison of Chifeng City. His motorcycle has still not been returned.
The couple's two children, their 20-year-old son Wang Jie and 14-year-old Wang Fang, are left at home on their own. Wang Jie has not returned to school and has taken on the family responsibilities, helping his sister to go to school and borrowing all their living expenses from his uncle, Shao Xiaofeng. Now, according to Wang Jie, his uncle can no longer lend them any more money, and their situation is very difficult.
1. Crimes Committed by the Policeman Li Xiejiang of Jinzhou City
Police officer Li Xiejiang (male) is 52 years old, and is
employed by the 610 Office of the Jinzhou City Police Department. In
the past
six years, he gave numerous orders to force each city department to
hold
activities slandering Falun Gong. He has participated in ransacking
Falun Gong
practitioners' homes, arresting them, fining them, sending them to
forced labor
and brainwashing sessions, and sending them to prison. He ignored the
law in
carrying out the persecution. On August 8, 2002, Li Xiejiang arrested
28 Falun Gong practitioners, and he and the City 610 Office workers
decided each
practitioner's family had to pay at least 5,000 yuan before the
practitioner is
released. Li Xiejiang often beat practitioners brutally or tortured
them during
interrogations. One day in 2001, he stripped a female Falun Gong
practitioner,
cuffed her to a chair, and then shocked her with electric batons all
over her
body.

2. Brutal Torture Is Still Happening to Falun Gong
Practitioners in the Harbin Women's Prison
Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wu Yulan refused to accept brainwashing
from the
authorities. The prison guards encouraged prisoners to curse her, throw
snot on
her, pull her hair, beat her, handcuff her, tie her to a cross, and
force her to
sit on a tiny stool for long periods of time. Ms. Huang Yanzhen is also
refusing
to cooperate with the evil, and she was often beaten until she was
covered with
injuries. Ms. Huang has passed out many times as a result of the
beatings. She
was locked in a small cell with handcuffs, forced to squat on the
floor, and not
allowed to sleep. Some practitioners have been injected with
Chlorpromazine,
which caused nervous breakdowns, and some have been tortured to the
point where
they are reduced to a vegetative state.
