(Clearwisdom.net) A male guard, in his 30s, transferred from Xishanping Forced Labor Camp always threatens practitioners, "Either you accept the 're-education' or you will suffer from torture." Another guard whose last name is Li also said, "You will lose your lives if you refuse to be 're-educated.'"

Currently, some of the male guards, in addition to torturing practitioners in the Xishanping Forced Labor Camp, also help torture female practitioners at the Maojiashan Female Forced Labor Camp. They use all kinds of methods of torture and lies that they can think of to make practitioners write statements to denounce Dafa. They forcefully take the fingerprints of practitioners and try to coerce them into slandering the Fa. They impose military drills on practitioners who persist in their belief in Falun Gong. These practitioners have to run every day, and are forced to squat on one foot with the other tiptoe supporting them. One will feel extreme pain after keeping this position for a long time. They are not allowed to switch feet. They have to continue squatting with two legs fully open and also do frequent and continuous rounds of push-ups. They torture practitioners day and night. The guards also make the drug addicts take turns in keeping practitioners under surveillance. Practitioners are not allowed to fall asleep, and if they do, they will be forced to wake up right away. Practitioners are never given enough food.

On the other hand, practitioners who cannot eat as a result of the torture are force-fed via tubes. Practitioners suffer from slaps to the face, violent pinching of the nose, and kicks and punches. One of the ways the guards torture practitioners is to pull them by their hair and slam their heads against the wall, severely bruising their heads. Many practitioners have been mentally traumatized by the torture. Those who suffer wounds to the head and legs have difficulty moving around, yet they still have to participate in the military drills. Every day, water is rationed, and practitioners are not allowed to fully dry their clothes. At night, practitioners have to dry their clothes and blankets with only their own body heat. A guard who was transferred from Xishanping Forced Labor Camp coerces the drug addicts to torture practitioners using base methods such as slapping practitioners on the face, kicking, stomping, handcuffing them, confining them in solitary cells, etc. Brutalizing Dafa practitioners has become these guards' daily routine.

Huang Sulan, a female practitioner in her 50's, is very firm in her belief in Dafa. Despite the brutal torture, she persists in her belief. She has been continuously handcuffed, beaten, and kept in solitary confinement. Her head has been seriously wounded and she is now kept alone in the Third Squad of the Labor Camp. Practitioners Yu Xunyong, Zhang Hong, Jiang Tao refused to write statements to denounce Dafa. They are constantly beaten as a result. Their legs are wounded and they walk with great difficulty and suffer daily abuse. Another practitioner, Wang Aihua is very sick and can hardly bear the pain. She is on the verge of death, yet the guards still refuse to release her.

We appeal to the kind-hearted people in the world to extend their helping hands and help practitioners who are imprisoned and tortured at Xishanping Forced Labor Camp and Maojiashan Female Forced Labor Camp in Chongqing City.
