19. [Changsha City, Hunan Province] Persecution of Practitioners at the Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp

Policemen often beat practitioner Zhou Xinjiang when he was on the newcomer team. Zhou went on a hunger strike to protest and was subjected to a torture called "wrapping up dumplings" by the "personal cangues" under the orders of officer Zhou from the new-comer team, officer He of the No. 1 Division, and Division head Hu. The "wrapping up dumplings" torture involves putting a raincoat-like cloth on the detainee who is tied to a metal bed with many belts, and with a helmet on his/her head. Then detainee is force-fed with a tube.

A practitioner's detention term is extended by a month if he shouts, "Falun Dafa is good." Before Zhou Xinjiang was put into the solitary compartment, they gagged him with a towel even when he went to restroom.

The police officer urged the "personal cangues" to beat practitioners, promising the cangues a 20-day reduction of their detention terms when they did so. The steadfast practitioners were often beaten for this reason.

Those who suffered these tortures included practitioners Wang Yeqing, Xie Huijun, and Lu Hai. Police often forced practitioners to stand facing a wall for several days. They tortured practitioners with the method "wrapping up dumplings," extending practitioners' detention terms and locking practitioners up in a "tight administration" room for a long time. If the practitioners who just came into the newcomer team refused to give up the practice or write the three statements they would be punished by being forced to stand still until 2:00 a.m., and then get up at 5:30 a.m. as usual.

The head of the No. 2 Team declared that practitioners who were found doing the exercises and shouting slogans would have their hands and feet broken, and whoever committed the crime would not be held responsible. A practitioner in the No. 3 Division was beaten to the point of sustaining a foot fracture.
