[Masanjia Labor Camp, Liaoning Province] The Inhumane Torture of Falun Dafa
Practitioners in the Male and Female Sections of Masanjia Labor Camp
I was once illegally detained at the Masanjia Labor Camp. Now I will expose all
of the brutal tortures to Dafa practitioners I witnessed there.
In the female section of the Masanjia Labor Camp, the guards used all kinds of
methods on those Dafa practitioners who could not be brainwashed. Dafa
practitioners were given electric shock treatment or locked up in the solitary
confinement cell where they were handcuffed in one position day and night. The
practitioners had to keep this posture so that they could not move or squat
down. The head of the guards ordered people who had been brainwashed to keep an
eye on the practitioners who had not been brainwashed and forced the
practitioners to stand still facing the wall until 1am the next morning. The
torture continued the next day. The head of the guards forced some practitioners
to squat down on the ground. Some practitioners could not even move their legs
when they were finally allowed to stand up after a long period of time. Some
practitioners were forced to do daily heavy labor alongside criminal detainees.
During the busy period, practitioners had to work until 2am or 3am the next
morning and get up at 5am to start working at 6:30am.
Practitioners suffered even more in the male section of the Masanjia Labor Camp. The
criminal detainees beat them with leather belts when they refused to be
brainwashed. They were forced to do heavy labor even when they were injured
from the beatings they received. If they could not finish their work because they had been
beaten to the point of sustaining internal injuries, they would be continuously
tortured until they were hospitalized.
In addition, it was said that the "human rights scoundrel" Jiang
Zemin [Amnesty International recently listed Chinese president Jiang Zemin as
one of its human rights "scoundrels."] had allocated a huge amount
of funds, 12 million Yuan [about US$1.5 million], to the Masanjia Labor Camp
to build another "brainwashing center."
[Tianjin City] Gusty Winds Uproot over 700 Trees in Tianjin City
At 9pm on June 15, 2001, strong thunder lasted for about half an hour in
Tianjin. At about 10pm, gusty winds suddenly came through, followed by heavy
hail at around 12 midnight. It was said that in a suburban area of Tianjin City,
the gusty wind uprooted over 700 trees and damaged many houses. The local
government of Tianjin City, following Jiang Zemin's criminal regime to persecute
Falun Gong, brought this disaster to the city.
[Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Shijiazhuang City's Thermoelectricity
Factory Authorities Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners, their Crimes are
Exposed, and the Factory Receives Retribution on the Same Day
On April 28, 2001, the crimes of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners
committed by the law-violating officials in Shijiazhuang City Thermoelectricity
Factory were exposed on Minghui Net. On the same day, a severe power-outage
accident took place, which interrupted the electricity supply to many work
units, causing huge economic losses.
On May 11, there was another accident. The cables caught on fire, which
suspended service to the electric generators. The unit that was immediately
liable was the thermoelectricity plant that had severely tortured Falun Dafa
practitioners and three Dafa practitioners had been expelled by the plant for no
reason.
[China] Thousands of Citizens Doing Morning Exercises were Pleasantly
Surprised to See Signs and Posters Clarifying the Truth About Dafa
On the morning of June 16, thousands of citizens doing their morning
exercises were pleasantly surprised to see signs on rocks and walls along the
hill roads. The signs read, "Falun Dafa is Good." At various morning
exercise sites, there were a lot of Dafa flyers posted that exposed the
vicious forces and called upon the good consciences of the people. When people were
shocked from the bottom of their hearts at the brutal persecution, the vicious
influences were reduced, and there was more hope of salvation for the people
whose consciences were awakened to the truth.
[Gansu Province] Members of a Poor Farm Family Commit Suicide in Gansu
Province; Local Law-violation Officials Attempt to Shift the Blame onto Falun
Gong
Last Chinese New Year's Eve, farmer Zhang Niuniu's five family members in
Minwu Village, Mali Town, Wushan County, Gansu Province committed suicide by taking poison, causing four deaths.
After the the family suicide incident happened, local officials
immediately blocked the news and reported it to the upper level government. They
then listed the case in the "Statistics of Falun Gong Practitioners
Committing Suicide," attempting to shift the blame to Falun Gong.
[Changchun City, Jilin Province] "He Who Slanders Falun Gong Will
Receive Retribution"
Changchun City's New Culture newspaper posted the solicited
contributions for the caricature contest slandering Falun Dafa. Recently, the
newspaper authorities once again published articles to slander Falun Dafa in
cooperating with "human rights scoundrel" Jiang Zemin's political
propaganda.
After an old subscriber read those articles, he said, "What is this?
Where is the New Culture? It is totally political propaganda. It has almost been
turned into the supplement of the People's Daily [the official government
mouthpiece]. I think Falun Gong is good. If everyone behaved according to
'Truth, Compassion, Tolerance,' the society would have been much better."
Another subscriber complained, "I could not agree with you more. The New
Culture newspaper doesn't talk about new culture. It has become a tool
manipulated by political propaganda. Whoever slanders Falun Gong will receive
retribution. I will not subscribe to this newspaper anymore."
Lies can no longer bewitch people. Justice will be brought forth. Good will
be met with Good Rewards, and Evil acts will be met with Evil Returns.
[Tianshui City, Gansu Province] The Viciousness of the Police: Searching
through Practitioners' Underwear for Money; Restricting Their Toilet Privileges;
Forcibly Administering Drugs Anally Using Rubber Tubing
1. At the end of December 2000, a female practitioner who went to Beijing to
validate Dafa was arrested and sent to Tianshui Local Liaison Office in Beijing.
A leading official of the Security Department from the Yonghong Factory went to
Beijing to escort her back. This ruffian demanded money from the female
practitioner but was refused. Therefore he searched her body all over with his
hands. He punched and kicked the practitioner and forced her to take off her
clothes. Finally, he took away all the money that he found in her underwear.
2. A couple from a village in the Beidao District went to Beijing to validate
Dafa. Since the husband refused to tell his name and address, they were jailed.
The Beijing policemen forced him to take off all his clothes and then poured
cold water onto the practitioner while beating him up. But he still refused to
tell them and went on a hunger strike, together with other practitioners. The
unscrupulous policemen tied him up on the bed and force-fed him, although he tried
not to cooperate with them. The police officer said, "If you do not
cooperate, I will feed you with excrement and urine!"
His wife suffered frequent brutal beatings after being escorted back to
Tianshui City. Once, at midnight, the head of the local police station by the
name of Yan intruded into the cell. The wife told him, "Please, first knock
on the door before you come in so we can put on our clothes." The head
said, "I like to watch you sleeping without clothes on." He handcuffed
the practitioners on the railings of the corridor for the whole night. In the
next morning, the wife said, " I want to go to the bathroom." A
depraved policeman said, "You can do that right here in front of us."
In the room, there were not only male practitioners but also male drug
offenders. Her husband and another male practitioner came forth to condemn the
police. As a result, they were carried out and thrown down the stairs by the
policemen. Afterwards, they could not get up for a long time.
3. On January 16, 2001, practitioners in Luergou Detention Center, Qincheng
District had been on a hunger strike for six days. Officer Wen Dahu from the
Politics and Law Department, followed by the ruffians Liu, Xian and Pei, came to
verbally abuse Dafa practitioners. The next day, guard Wang Hongyu from the
detention center and Doctor Shi ordered the criminals to remove the
practitioners' pants. They anally inserted rubber tubes and
administered a fluid mixture of drugs and egg whites.
4. Dafa practitioner Wang Junhua was arrested when distributing Dafa
truth-clarifying materials. He was hung up and beaten by people from the
Politics and Law Department. He was then detained in a detention center for over
two months. There were also many other practitioners being tricked into the
detention center by their work unit officials with the excuse of going there to
"have a chat." Now they have been detained for half a year.
[Weifang City, Shandong Province] Crime Records: Crimes Committed by Yang
Xuesi and Xu Songran from Changle County Experimental Middle School in Weifang
City
Secretary Yang Xuesi and assistant secretary Xu Songran from Changle
Experimental Middle School prohibited Dafa practitioners from going to work and
suspended their salaries. One practitioner went to Beijing twice to appeal. She
was not only fined 8,000 Yuan but, since April 8, 2000 was also put under
24-hour surveillance. On October 4, she was sent to "138 Reeducation
Class." During the class, this practitioner did not receive her salary at
all. In addition, she had to pay 160 Yuan for the "supervision." The
practitioner became poverty-stricken. To help her, some parents of her students
hired her to tutor their children at home. After Xu Songran learned about this,
he informed the teachers to find out the names of the students who were tutored
by the practitioner. The teacher had to take the responsibility if there were
students from his/her class being tutored by the practitioner. This has upset
many parents.
Another Dafa practitioner was locked up in a small room of less than 10
square meters. He had to eat, drink and go to the bathroom in the same room
until this May, after which he was forcibly sent to a labor camp for
brainwashing.
Recently, they forcibly sent these two practitioners to a labor camp for
brainwashing. One of them escaped and is now wandering about like a homeless
person.
Evil will be met with evil. Last year, Secretary Yang Xuesi was diagnosed
with lung cancer and part of his lung had to be removed. However, he has not yet
been awakened and has been continuing to order Xu Songran and Liu Zengjun to
commit vicious deeds and harass Dafa practitioners.

[Anhui Province] We Sternly Warn the Official Law-Violators of Huaibei and
Suixi District in Anhui Province
Since July 20, 1999, the law-violating policemen and officials of the
Politics and Law Department in Huaibei and Suixin Districts have been brutally
persecuting the peaceful and kindhearted Falun Gong practitioners. They have
illegally detained many Falun Gong practitioners. To force the practitioners to
give up their beliefs, the officials do not allow them to sleep. They also use
common criminals to torture practitioners with inhumane means. Recently, they
have arrested Falun Gong practitioners at will and have set up a so-called
"Special Cases Group." We have heard that a branch of the notorious
"610 Office" has also been set up.
[Shanxi Province] Tortured Dafa Practitioners' Rough Situation in Shanxi
Province
In June 2000, we fellow practitioners gathered together for a discussion. The
villains regarded it as an illegal assembly and unlawfully detained us for 52
days, during which time we were treated inhumanly. The director of the detention
center ordered his subordinates to strictly watch us. For each meal, they only
provided some soup and a little piece of bun. Sometimes there was not even a
bun. It was very hot in the summer. Mosquitoes and flies were swarming
everywhere and the ground was infested with maggots. We were tortured like this
simply because we want to be good people. The authorities even forbade our
family members from visiting us. The detention center personnel also ordered the
drug addicts to watch and beat us. Under these difficult circumstances we kept
on spreading the Fa and clarifying the truth with kind hearts and tried to let
them know more about Dafa and Dafa practitioners.
The guards of the detention center ignored the situation of practitioner Chen
Ying, who is over 60-years-old. She was given very little food for each meal.
Due to lack of food and water, this practitioner fainted. Yet the guards were
still planning to send her to a labor camp. Altogether, we were detained for 52
days although they had only issued a 20-day-detention warrant.
The factory dismissed us from our jobs for going to Beijing to appeal for
Falun Dafa. We are now receiving a monthly allowance of 121 Yuan. Nevertheless,
we are still working hard according to the requirements of Dafa.

[Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province] Law-violating Officers Illegally Hold a
New Brainwashing Class in Guangzou City
The City of Guangzhou is holding another round of illegal brainwashing
classes. In Haizhu District alone, there are a dozen of Falun Gong practitioners
being illegally held at the brainwashing class and suffering from mental
tortures.
Chatou Women's Labor Camp of Guangzhou has put over 20 practitioners who
refused to accept brainwashing under strict constraints. The labor camp doesn't
allow family members to visit practitioners. The practitioners' situation is
worrisome.
[Zhengzhou City, Henan Province] In Zhengzhou City, a Family of Dafa
Practitioners Firmly Safeguards Dafa
Xiao Yan (pseudonym) and his (or her) parents are all Dafa practitioners in
Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. They have been to Beijing many times to
safeguard Dafa and assist Teacher in this human world. They went on a hunger
strike after being escorted back to Henan for detention from their first trip to
Beijing to appeal. During the hunger strike it was determined that they suffered
from lowered blood pressure and pulse rate when they were given a physical
checkup. For fear of any responsibility, the detention center fined them 10,000
Yuan [over 1 years' salary for a city worker in China; the monthly
income is 500 Yuan] and put them under house arrest instead. Two
policemen moved in downstairs in their home to keep under surveillance their
every action and move.
Last Chinese New Year's Eve [on January 23, 2001], the practitioners
broke away from the surveillance and again went to Tiananmen Square to unfurl a
Dafa banner. They were caught by policemen and beaten to the ground. On the way
back to Zhengzhou Detention Center, they ran into a traffic accident. Everyone
except the Dafa practitioners was injured. Later, Xiao Yan escaped with a
righteous thought. At present, his father has been sentenced to three years in
labor camp, his mother has been sentenced to two years in labor camp. Xiao Yan
has left home now and has actively joined the great torrent of Fa-rectification.
