"Clarify the truth thoroughly, eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts, save all beings, and safeguard the Fa with determination" (Dafa is Indestructible) Testimony about The Crimes Committed in the Masanjia Labor Camp [Minghui Net]
Witness 1
I was illegally imprisoned in the Masanjia Labor Camp for practicing Falun
Gong. I witnessed various despicable methods that were used by the guards to
force practitioners to write statements of repentance. Today, these scenes still
vividly exist in my mind.
Wang Manli, a 30-year-old female Falun Gong practitioner, refused to accept
the urgings of the brainwashed converts and refused to write a repentance
statement. At first, the guards sent several traitors in turn to
"guide" her, giving her no rest. After failing to defeat her over
several sleepless days and nights, they then ordered her to bend over at the
waist as far as possible (with both legs straight, fingers pointing down to the
ground and head hanging upside down). Wang would still not write the statement.
The police then forced more than ten Falun Gong practitioners in the same room
to bend over with her. They were forced to do this continuously night after
night. Some people vomited, others lost consciousness.
There was an even more cruel torture. Wang Hui is a female practitioner in
her 20's. When the police found that she wouldn't succumb, two of them tortured
her with four electric batons, discharging electricity simultaneously to her
breasts, heart, palms, soles, even her private parts. I heard the mixed sound of
the electric discharges, her miserable screaming, and the guards yelling,
"Why don't you swear for me? Swear! Swear!" Dozens of minutes passed
and Wang Hui finally came out of the room. Her hair was a mess, her eyes were
dull, and her body was shaking uncontrollably. Her neck and her hands were
swelling where the flesh had been broken. She shied away from other people and
would not let her hands be touched. The police stared at her and said, "You
said you were loyal. Didn't you swear anyway?" They ordered her to write
the repentance letter immediately. Wang Hui said, "What I write is
false." They said, "We want even false ones." They then asked
someone to give her the pen and paper.
Many practitioners here were not released on time but had to stay longer than
their supposed sentences of labor. They were forced to do strenuous labor every
day and were allowed only three to four hours rest.
Witness 2
I am a Falun Gong practitioner released from the Masanjia Labor Camp. I
witnessed miserable scenes of Falun Gong practitioners being beaten mercilessly
by the guards. The methods that they used were chilling.
For refusing to attend drill (which was routine for criminals), Wang Yanxia
(female) was handcuffed to the legs of a bed so that she could neither sit nor
squat. She was then beaten and kicked so hard that her front teeth and some hair
fell out; her left eye was blood red, and her cheeks were bruised. After a
heavy snowfall, the guards ordered her to take off her coat and, with only a
thin shirt and pants, stand in the snow for more than two hours.
Zhao Yonghua, a female college teacher from Shenyang and Zhu Huimin, an
elderly female from a village, also refused to attend drill. In the coldest
winter, the guards took them outside and forced them to crawl back and forth on
the ground for nearly one hour wearing only thin clothes.
Tian Miao, Tian Ling, and Yan Fengqin (all females) were cruelly tortured for
the same reason. They were taken out separately. Tian Ling was locked in a
toilet where she was kicked and beaten. Wang Shuzhen, the chief of a branch
labor team, brought Yan Fengqin to a room and slapped and kicked her. A female
guard, Huang, reminded the chief, "Why waste your energy, don't we have
instruments?" Then Wang took two electric batons and discharged them on
Yan's body, including her face, neck, chest, and breasts. Sometimes, Wang even
kept the electric charge in one spot for several minutes before moving the
baton. Tian Miao was brought to an office and stripped. Two female guards
tortured her with electric batons, especially on her breasts, soles, and private
parts. Tian Miao was rolling on the floor in pain. They cuffed her hands
together and cuffed her feet separately to two legs of a table. Hearing Tian
shouting with unbearable pain, they stuffed a filthy cloth into her mouth.
Seemingly crazed, the two women took turns torturing her with more than 10
electric batons for nearly one hour. For a long time after, the chilling cries
of Tian Miao still echoed in my ears.
By treating the Falun Gong practitioners with such vicious measures in the
Masanjia Labor Camp, the guards appeared to have lost their human nature.
