(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. A year ago, I was illegally arrested and put into a labor camp for one year. When I walked into Changchun Female Labor Camp on the first day, I immediately noticed the blood blisters on my fellow practitioners' faces and necks. Later, I knew that those blood blisters resulted from the vicious jailors' electric shock batons, punches and kicks. This was the first scene that I saw there. The following is what I experienced in the labor camp.

I was inhumanly mistreated because I refused to write a statement to renounce Falun Gong. We were forced to do heavy labor, which was beyond our physical ability, for as long as 17 hours a day. For example, we were forced to carry bags of beans on our shoulders weighing over 100-pounds, from the first to the fifth floor. The jailors even commanded women in their fifties to carry those bags, though they were not able to even lift them.

What made us sad and angry was that the labor camp fabricated an interview report. One day, we were told that the Judiciary of the Central Committee would come to the labor camp to interview Falun Dafa practitioners. We were very pleased for we thought we could finally have a chance to speak out the words in our heart. However, just before the Judiciary people arrived, the labor camp locked up all the Falun Gong practitioners for more than 5 hours. When we were sent back, the interview was already done. We asked other prisoners how the Judiciary people had conducted the interviews. They told us, "The jailors let those of us who do not study Falun Gong pretend to be practitioners. Then they taught us what to say." How absurd and laughable it was!

The vicious police of Changchun Female Labor Camp coerced Dafa practitioners to unwillingly say that they would give up their belief. Liu Lianying, the 2^nd team leader, cruelly beat Dafa practitioners every day. She took the sweater off of Dafa practitioner Zhou Liping and tied her up on an iron bed, ordering jailors and then prisoners to beat her. Wounds covered her entire body. She was so miserable that she thought she would not survive. During the daytime, Liu Lianying violently beat Dafa practitioners Li Shulan, Zhou Liping, and Liu Lifen; in the evening she forced them to stand facing the wall until midnight. On the morning of November 8, policeman Jia Hongyan took Liu Lifen to a conference room of a new building and forced her to take off her clothes. Then he shocked her with an electric baton for over 3 hours. When I saw her in the afternoon, I found lines of blisters on her body. At 11:30 a.m. on November 20, policewoman Liu Lianying asked Wang Xiufen in the jailor's office whether Falun Gong is good or not. Wang replied "Good." Liu Lianying brutally beat her upon hearing this, and Wang's face soon became swollen and distorted. After the beating, Liu forced Wang to work, as it was still daytime. Liu continued to torture Wang Xiufen in the evening until midnight. On the morning of November 21, policeman Jia Hongyan forced Wang Xiufen to write a statement to renounce Falun Gong. When she refused to write this, he then tried to force her to write the words "anti-party," "anti-government," and "anti-country."

The above stories are only part of what I witnessed in the Changchun Female Labor Camp.
