Torture Accounts from the First Female Forced Labor Camp in Guangxi Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Zhang Jingman, female, is from Lingshan, Guangxi Province. She was arrested
and sent to the First Female Forced Labor Camp in Guangxi Province. The police team leaders Liang
Suzhen and Lu Dengyun instigated the inmates to torture her. The prisoners always beat and kicked
her. They frequently hung her up, forced her to squat down for long periods of time, exposed her to
the burning sun for long periods of time, filled her mouth with dirty rags and bound her hands and
feet. She was not allowed to take a shower or sleep for extended periods of time. After such torture
her breathing became labored as a person on the verge of death. Fearing the blame for her death, the
police moved her out of the forced labor camp. However, once she recovered a little, the police
arrested and tortured her again in the camp. After being in and out of the camp three times, she had
wasted away to a mere 45 pounds; this is in contrast to the 110 pounds she weighed before she was
arrested. Meng Gui, female, is from Lingshan, Guangxi Province. In June 2000, she was arrested and sent to
the First Female Forced Labor Camp in Guangxi Province. Acting on the instigation of the police team
leader Liang Suzhen and Lu Dengyun, the prisoners abused Meng Gui physically and mentally. They
didn't allow her to take a shower or to sleep, and exposed her to the scorching sun for a long time.
The drug addict prisoners beat and kicked her at every opportunity. She was placed in solitary
confinement on different occasions. Because she had been bound and forced to stand or squat for long
periods of time, her arms and legs became disabled, and she was on the verge of death. Refusing to
be held responsible for the serious consequences of their actions, the police kicked her out of the
forced labor camp. So far Huang Yiyi from Yulin, Hu Liangmao, Ma Shaoying and He Lingling from Nanning, Zhuang
Junlian and Cui Yu from Guilin, Wen Jie from Beihai, and another two or three hundred Falun Dafa
practitioners are suffering the same torture. During this long-term persecution, many of the
practitioners there have gone on hunger strike to protest the inhumane atrocities in the female
forced labor camp. Some of the practitioners have been on a hunger strike for over two months and
their lives are in danger. We are urgently calling for worldwide help and support to end this evil
persecution. Posting date: 10/10/2002 |
