Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at the Hohhot City Women's Forced Labor Camp

October 05, 2005 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) Personnel at the Hohhot City Women's Forced Labor Camp follow the Jiang group's orders in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. They use extremely savage methods to torture Falun Gong practitioners.

Corporal Punishment

Falun Gong practitioners held at the labor camp have all been detained in solitary confinement, forced to stand, not allowed to use the restroom or wash themselves, and deprived of sleep. Sometimes they are forced to stand for days at a time, and the guards try to force them to write a guarantee statement renouncing Falun Dafa. The practitioners are forced to stand for such long periods of time that their legs and feet swell severely, and they can no longer wear shoes.

Torture

If the practitioners remain determined in their faith, the guards order the inmates to torture the practitioners around the clock. They handcuff the practitioners with their hands behind their backs and pull their bodies up so their feet do not touch the ground. They called the torture "riding an airplane." Practitioner Hu Shuhua was tortured this way. Sometimes they didn't allow the practitioners to eat for four days and claimed they were "testing" the practitioners. Sometimes they shocked the practitioners with electric batons and whipped them with a triangular leather belt soaked in cold water until not a single piece of undamaged flesh could be found on the practitioner's body.

During the day they force the practitioners to do slave labor, and at night they torture the determined practitioners. They handcuff the practitioners to a door and don't permit them to rest. They even forced a practitioner in his 50s to kneel on a mop handle for more than ten hours at a time until the handle cut into his flesh. In the summer, they take the practitioners outside to expose them to the biting mosquitoes. In the winter they take the practitioners outside to expose them to freezing temperatures. The guards torture the practitioners on a daily basis.

In fact, the above is only the tip of the iceberg of the tortures the practitioners are subjected to at the Hohhot City Women's Forced Labor Camp.
