(Clearwisdom.net) On November 4, 2010, the article "Kindergarten Teacher Ms. Hu Miaomiao Cannot Walk after Suffering Sexual Abuse in Hebei Province Forced Labor Camp" (http://www.clearwisdom.net/html/articles/2010/11/9/121322.html) was published on the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom). It reported that Falun Gong practitioner Hu Miaomiao from Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province was detained at the First Section of Hebei Province Women's Forced Labor Camp and that section chief Wang Weiwei and inmates Wu Yanchun, Li Lingling, and Zong Dongrong had severely tortured her. They used extremely base methods, including using broom handles and their fingers to injure her private parts. Three months have passed, but Ms. Hu still hasn't recovered from the trauma. She is in extreme pain and unable to walk normally. Further information is revealed below.

Falun Gong practitioner Hu Miaomiao is a kindergarten teacher at Caigoubao Town Kindergarten in Huaian County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. A driver reported her to the police while she was telling people the facts about Falun Gong on June 15, 2010. Police from Huaian County arrested Ms. Hu and ransacked her home. During the interrogation, Zhang Bin, deputy director of the Huaian County Public Security Bureau, bashed her with his mobile phone. On June 26, without going through any legal procedures or notifying her family members, Hu Miaomiao was sent to the Hebei Province Women's Forced Labor Camp and sentenced to one year of forced labor.

The forced labor camp officials gave a misleading name to the area where practitioners were detained, calling it the "Practitioners' Apartments." It consisted of four sections, with each section corresponding to each level of the building. Ms. Hu was secretly locked in the storage room on the first floor (First Section). Policewomen and section leaders Wang Weiwei and Hou Junmei instigated inmates Wu Yanchun, Li Lingling, and Zong Dongrong to monitor and abuse Ms. Hu. She was not allowed to contact anyone, as they were afraid of her persecution situation becoming known. They followed her closely even when she washed herself. They forbade people from coming close to her.

The storage room was originally used for storing inmates' and practitioners' items, but was later used to detain and persecute newly arrived Falun Gong practitioners. Beside the storage room were two garages. One garage was used as a solitary confinement room, where Ms. Hu was locked up. She was harshly mistreated because she was determined in her belief and continued practicing the Falun Gong exercises. She refused to do any labor because she understood that her imprisonment was illegal. Policewomen Wang Weiwei and Hou Junmei instigated inmates Wu Yanchun, Li Lingling, and Zong Dongrong to severely beat and torture Ms. Hu. Many inmates and Falun Gong practitioners heard her piercing screams when she was beaten. Later on, an inmate on duty said that her uterine and vaginal areas were bleeding heavily, and she was sent to outside hospitals for examination. The inmates had used broom handles and their fingers to damage her private parts. As a result, she bled heavily. For a long time she couldn't stand up straight nor walk, and several people had to help her to go to the toilet. Though all the doors in the labor camp hallway were locked to keep people from seeing Ms. Hu when she went to the toilet, people could hear her painful moans and other inmates' scolding and cursing. The confinement room where Ms. Hu was detained was near the section leader's office. The leader could hear the inmates beating Ms. Hu and her screams. But she and other prison guards allowed it to continue.

Ms. Hu was later placed under even stricter surveillance. She was not allowed to freely go to the toilet. Only during meal breaks, when everyone went to the dining hall and nobody could see her, was she allowed to go to the toilet with the help of several inmates. A special person was appointed to deliver food to her. Normally the food was only a bun, not even with a dish or rice soup. She was not allowed to wash herself in the morning or at night. She was wearing only summer slippers when she first arrived at the forced labor camp. Now it was September, and it was cold early in the morning and late at night. Other inmates were able to wear thick socks and shoes, while Ms. Hu was still wearing that pair of worn out slippers, and she had difficulty walking in them. One inmate wanted to give her a pair of cotton shoes, but Wu Yanchun and Li Lingling swore harshly at the inmate.

Policewoman Wang Weiwei, chief of the First Section, actively took part in abusing Falun Gong practitioners. Feng Kezhuang, deputy director of the forced labor camp, who was in charge of mistreating Falun Gong practitioners, promoted her to be section chief. New inmates were sent to the First Section upon arrival. Inmates who were obedient and could be taken advantage of stayed on in the First Section to continue persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Wang Weiwei sent inmates Wu Yanchun and Li Lingling to torture Ms. Hu, and Hou Junmei sent Zong Dongrong. These inmates stopped at nothing to persecute Falun Gong practitioners who refused to give up their belief. They cursed at and beat practitioners at will, even in front of the section chief.

Ms. Hu's family members came by train several times from her hometown of Caigoubao in Zhangjiakou City to the forced labor camp in Shijiazhuang City to see her during the allowed meeting time. Wang Weiwei and Hou Junmei refused to let them see her, using various excuses. Her family members were very worried about Ms. Hu. They didn't know how she was or whether she was even still alive.

We appeal to all people to help rescue Hu Miaomiao, and to stop the persecution at the Hebei Province Women's Forced Labor Camp.
