(Clearwisdom.net) After 2004, the authorities at the Yunnan Second Labor Camp implemented unscrupulous persecution against the Falun Dafa practitioners detained there. Many of them were tortured, and those who refused to accept brainwashing had their sentences extended for more than half a year. The villains at the labor camp are represented by Ban Zhigang, the head of the labor camp; Qu Kaiming. administration department leader; Chen Huanbing, education department leader; Yang Yongguang and Liang Jialiang, instructors of the Second and Fifth Teams, respectively; and the henchman Luo Zhongwu. They also used a heavy workload to persecute the detained practitioners, forcing them to do hard labor more than 15 hours a day, working them beyond human capacity. As a result, many practitioners’ hands and feet were terribly swollen.
Under these circumstances, many practitioners have become disabled, and some have even been persecuted to death. The Second Team’s work schedule is from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and the First, Third, and Fifth Teams’ schedule is from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.. The Fourth Team runs a brick kiln which requires extremely heavy labor.
The following is information available about some of the practitioners detained in the Yunnan Second Labor Camp:
Mr. Guan Chengcai, 58, is from Sijie Town, Tonghai County. He was arrested when he and another practitioner, Bi Chaoqing, went to clarify the truth about Falun Gong at the local police station in July 2004. He was sent to this forced labor camp without trial after being held in a detention center for a long time.
Practitioner Wang Fei is being persecuted in the Third Team of the labor camp.
Shu Zhenhong, formerly a doctor at Kunming Steel Factory, is being persecuted in the Fourth Team.
Zhao Yonghua, formerly an employee at Kunming Steel Factory, is being persecuted in the Fifth Team.
Zhang Hong, detained in the Second Team, was forced to renounce his belief in Dafa under the persecution. He was pressured into writing such statements due to the inhumane persecution in the labor camp. Later he came to his senses and wrote a solemn statement to nullify his previous statements on April 17, 2005. Unfortunately, the subsequent torture rendered him unable to stand up to his belief and he once again wrote statements to denounce Falun Gong.
Tan Jianhui is being imprisoned in the Second Team.
Su Kun, another practitioner who continues to resist the persecution, is being denied visitation by his relatives. Anyone who practices Falun Gong in his family is not allowed to visit him, including his parents.
According to reliable sources, the practitioners who were sent to this forced labor camp for the second time include Li Zheng, an employee of the 14th Bureau of Forestry in Kunming; Chen Jinwu from Kunming; Deng Hui from Jianshui County; Wu Guiyou from Songming County; and Ye Baofu, formerly the leader of a hospital. They were illegally arrested by the 610 Office and sent directly to the labor camp for persecution.
