Atrocities Committed at Xinan Women's Forced Labor Camp in Beijing
(Clearwisdom.net)
The Xinan Women's Forced Labor Camp in Beijing was originally called
Tiantanghe Forced Labor Camp. Since October 1999, the Xinan Women's Forced Labor
Camp has illegally detained over one thousand practitioners. In order to reach
the so-called "transformation quota," this labor camp has spared no
effort in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners using the most inhuman and
atrocious means. They have utilized electric shocks, physical tortures (such as
"forced standing," "forced kneeling," "riding on an
airplane," "riding a motorcycle," "climbing the wall like a
lizard," and "standing with a bowl of water placed on top of the
head"), and brutal beatings. They poured water directly into the victims'
noses after they were beaten to the ground unconscious. They forced
practitioners to stand in a "military pose" under the sun for long
periods of time, subjected them to extensive sleep deprivation (up to 13 days
and nights without any sleep or one hour of sleep per day for over 30 days), and
refused to let them use the restroom for as long as 3 days and nights. They
subjected the practitioners to "group training" for over six months.
During this "training," the practitioners were given only corn bread
to eat with no vegetables and forced to perform intensive labor for long periods
of time.
The oldest practitioner under illegal detention is Ms. Chen Yuzhu, who is
68-years-old. The youngest practitioner is a girl of just 18 years, who was
detained at the group training camp. She was often tied to the bed and denied
sleep for up to 4 days and nights, causing her to become incoherent at times.
Ms. Wang Yan, who was suffering from severe physical ailments, and Ms. Wang Li,
who was almost completely blind, were also detained here. Wang Li suffered
severe beating and physical punishment at the instruction of camp supervisors
Jiao Xuexian and Wang Zhaofeng.
Practitioner Ms. Zhang Shuying was tortured with electric needles after she
went on a hunger strike to protest the inhuman treatment in the Dongcheng
Detention Center in Beijing. Her health deteriorated to the point where her
memory was severely impaired, and she is nearly completely incapacitated, unable
to even walk on her own. Despite her handicapped condition, Supervisor Wang
Zhaofeng still did not ease the torture of Ms. Zhang. Wang Zhaofeng instructed
guards to beat Zhang Shuying in her office while she watched.
During their shifts, Second Brigade Supervisors Han Xiuying and Zhang Ran
instructed guards to beat 50-year-old practitioner He Wen for two nights. Other
supervisors in the Second Brigade also instructed guards to beat practitioners
Yong Xu and Ma Ronghong. Supervisor Jiao Xuexian in the Third Brigade instigated
drug addict offenders to beat practitioner Li Yunying in the water supply room,
causing serious injury to her back. Later they poured more than 50 pots of cold
water over her.
Falun Gong practitioner Zhu Xuanwu from Northeastern China coughed up blood
after he was severely beaten at the group training brigade.
