The Persecution of Dafa Practitioners in Shisantou Labor Camp, Jiangsu Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Shisantou Labor Camp gives testimony to our Dafa
practitioners' ability to withstand tribulations
Police officers use criminals, such as prostitutes and drug addicts, to
watch Falun Gong practitioners under the so-called "Chain System,"
which one police officer describes as being "connected anywhere and
anytime." Practitioners are under constant supervision at all times while
in the forced labor camp. In addition to losing their freedom by being placed
into the forced labor camp, the practitioners lose what is left of their most
basic freedom and rights under this system.
Some drug addicts with deviated mentalities brutally attack innocent Dafa
practitioners and act like a despicable gang at the urging of police officers
in the "Chain System." In order to force practitioners to renounce
their beliefs, the criminals have used steel needles and thin wooden sticks to
stab practitioners in the chest and lower extremities. They pull at the
practitioners' hair, twist the sensitive parts of their bodies, and strike the
palms of their hands. A drug addict named Xie once used an extremely base
method to torture several Dafa practitioners, causing serious consequences and
drawing indignation from the other prisoners. In order to cover up the crimes
in the forced labor camp, guard Jiang set up Xie to take full responsibility,
so that the forced labor camp would not be accountable. As a result, Xie's
term was extended by 6 months. Afterwards Jiang comforted her, "After
this thing becomes quiet, we'll arrange to have your term reduced."
In order to force practitioners to write "pledges" renouncing
Falun Gong, or to copy and memorize the "rules and principles of the
team," guards with police badges on their hats wave police batons,
utilize violence, and do inhuman things to practitioners. Officer Zhao taught
others how to use electric batons, and practitioner Ling from Nanjing lost
consciousness after being shocked for long periods of time. Dafa practitioner
Wang from Nantong was dragged into an empty room and shocked for about 3
hours, causing his entire body to turn black and blue. Changzhou Dafa
practitioner Lu was shocked for so long that his left foot was unable to bear
any weight, a big blood blister formed on his forehead, and he lost
consciousness.
Insiders know that in the No. 4 group women's section, when police officers
start torturing Dafa practitioners, they play music at high volumes to cover
up the sounds of their vicious deeds. It's an "open secret" there.
However, sometimes the cries of misery are so bone chilling, even the loud
music can't cover them.
In order to force practitioners to copy the "public notice"
renouncing Dafa, officer Zhang makes Dafa practitioners squat on the floor day
and night. One practitioner with the surname Hong and another practitioner
with the surname Qin were forced to stand for over 10 days and nights. Team
Leader Li forced a practitioner with the surname Chen to hold a standing
position for 4 days and 5 nights without any sleep, instigated criminals to
beat Chen violently at will, and didn't allow Chen to wash his face or brush
his teeth. In the end, Li used the "fish soup" (a torture of pouring
water onto one's body and then shocking them with electric batons) method to
torture him. Chen was badly injured -- he had painful bumps on his head and
patches of black and blue all over his body.
Last September, in order to force practitioners to write so-called
"assignments," the No. 3 team in the women's section didn't allow
Dafa practitioners to sleep and ordered "Chain System" members to
monitor the practitioners, hoping to break their will. The Dafa practitioners
solemnly went on hunger strike one after another, and in the end they were
allowed to sleep from midnight until 4:30 in the morning. This situation
lasted for two weeks, and the "punishment" didn't stop until
National Day, October 1.
Officer Zhao from the No. 3 team in the women's section always curses,
slanders, and gives vent to personal spite at work. When officers Xu, Jiang,
and Zhang are on duty, they are served snacks by drug addicts and prostitutes.
They have prisoners waiting on them even while they are taking showers. One
time, when Xu finished eating some snacks, she put her feet on the table and
left sunflower seed shells and candy wrappers all over the place. She started
shouting, "Get a criminal to come in to clean up for me, and get a cup of
water for me too!" She didn't want to move even a little bit. Regulations
are there in name only, and those police officers have tarnished and
dishonored the reputation of the police with their actions.
The first rule in the "Twelve Prohibitions of Carrying Out Laws and
Principles" published by the Jiangsu Province Labor Camp Bureau clearly
states, "Police officers are forbidden to beat, swear at, or use corporal
punishment on inmates." However, the majority of police officers
disregard the laws and principles. They beat and torture illegally detained
Dafa practitioners in a vicious way. We truly believe that all evil deeds will
receive retribution in due time!
