By persisting in her belief, practitioner Ning Shuxian was persecuted for three years at the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp

My name is Ning Shuxian and I am 50 years old. On May 17, 2002, police officers from the county police department came to my home and ransacked it. They abducted me and sent me to the county detention center. They put me in shackles weighing 18-jin for 17 days. My ankles became severely bruised. I was later sentenced to three years of forced labor. On August 8, 2002 I was sent to the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp. This was the second time I was sent to a labor camp. Division heads Zhao and Yao ordered inmates to force me to squat, and they would beat me if I didn't squat the right way. My legs became numb after squatting for a long time. This torture caused me to sweat profusely and have difficulty breathing. They also tortured me with a method called the "Big Hang-up." I felt as if my tendons were being torn apart and my bones were being pulled out of their sockets. The ropes cut into my flesh and it bled a lot. My arms turned black and blue from lack of oxygen. For periods of time I was not allowed to talk or sleep, and I was forced to squat. I was also forced to do slave labor. My hands swelled and my fingernails were worn down, yet I was still forced to work. http://minghui.ca/mh/articles/2005/5/11/101573.html
