(Clearwisdom.net) The Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, as the government calls the concentration camp located in Liaoning Province, is a dark den of evil where Jiang's criminal followers persecute Dafa practitioners. Since October 1999, the camp has detained over 3000 female Falun Gong practitioners. In 2001, the Masanjia concentration camp merged the former Sections 1 and 2, forming the current Female Section, with a total of nearly one hundred police officers headed by Su Jing, a warden of incredible evil and viciousness. The Female Section is established solely for the purpose of detaining and persecuting female Dafa practitioners across the province. According to inside sources, in order to deceive the outside world by presenting an appealing front, a total of 25 million Yuan was invested in the camp, and very few places in the Northeast region can match its fraudulent landscaped environment and modern facilities.

The evil police officers in the camp headed by Deputy Director Sun Fengwu and Su Jing, Head of Female Section, under the encouragement of the provincial "610 Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems] and Judicial Department, used both soft and hard tactics and resorted to every conceivable means in their persecution against those illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners. However, according to information from various sources, a great number of practitioners never yielded to the harsh pressure, and those who had once been "transformed," as the government phrases it, made solemn declarations one after another, stating that the brainwashing they experienced made their statements invalid and they would start cultivation once again. Although Sun Fengwu, Su Jing and their followers have been set up as models by the Jiang-Luo criminal clique, as time goes by, and under the principle that "coercion cannot change people's hearts," they can only become backed into a corner with no way out. Among the people who know the situation and their guilt, this is already an open secret.

Currently, all "610 Offices," either at the central governmental level or at the grassroots level, have to admit that they are running out of cards to play, like riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off. They have a lot of unsolvable issues on their hands and are implicated in a rising quantity of criminal activities. The local governments and judiciary departments are growing more and more weary of the persecution, many have adopted such tactics as reporting only the pleasing news and holding back the displeasing information to fool the central government in their coping with the current situation. What worries them even more are cases of Falun Gong practitioners going on hunger strikes on a large scale and cases of practitioners being tortured to death in their custody. They are afraid that once the news leaks out they will be under immense pressure from the public and society.

It is known that Falun Gong practitioners and the populace in China are getting informed more and more about the real situation via various channels (especially Falun Dafa websites), and the lies and rumours propagated by the Jiang-Luo criminal gang are becoming less and less effective in controlling people's minds. Also, since 2000, Falun Gong practitioners in many places inside China are able to obtain the new articles by the founder of Falun Gong only one or two days after their publication, and many people in various sectors are also able to read these articles. The positive impact of these messages and truth-clarifying materials on people is immeasurable, and this is also the main reason why the Jiang-Luo mob spares no expense to constantly attack and intensify their control on websites and other relevant facilities.

In the middle of 2001, Jiang's criminal clique allocated nearly 50 million Yuan of state funds to Liaoning Province for the suppression of Falun Gong, of which, around 13 million Yuan was directly allocated to the Masanjia concentration camp. According to experts' calculations, this special allocation of funds across the country mounted up to over 1 billion Yuan. Under current severe circumstances when laid-off workers are everywhere, when the national treasury is in serious debt, when banks are faced with piles of bad accounts, and when foreign investments cannot match outflow capital, evil Jiang has dragged down so many people into persecuting innocent people. He continues his work of truly damaging the country and harming the people.

Incidentally, because of the serious mistake the government made on the Falun Gong issue, a great number of people in Mainland China have completely lost trust in the government. There are also innumerable corrupt officials who take advantage of the persecution for their personal interests. People who have funds do not turn them into investments; instead, they only care about short-term consumption, taking no interest in long-term investment. In a way, China's economy is following the old way of rapid decline experienced by Portugal and Spain in the 16^th and 17^th centuries.

Analysts believe, on one hand, as long as Jiang's criminal clique is in power, they will not relax their hatred and suppression of Falun Gong, not even for a single day; on the other hand, most people can see the inevitable end and are leaving themselves a way out. They do not want to become overly involved, and except for a small handful of dead-set followers such as Sun Fengwu and Su Jing, most people do not want to bear the historical responsibility. There have been a lot of incidents where people are attempting to shift responsibilities to others.

We can see from historical experience that any attempt against the course of nature to forcefully transform people who believe in truth will only end in defeat. The end of those who have closely followed the Jiang-Luo directives in persecuting Falun Gong, is already sealed, and their meeting of their retribution is only a matter of time.
