Facts about the Barbaric Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Masanjia Labor Camp
(Clearwisdom.net) Because I went to Beijing to appeal for the right to
practice Falun Gong in October 2000, I was illegally sentenced to 2 years of
forced labor education. I was sent to Masanjia Labor Camp. Here I have
experienced and seen and heard too many despicable deeds of the wicked guards.
The personnel at Masanjia Labor Camp appear to warmly receive the
practitioners when they are first kidnapped and brought there. For a while, the
guards seem to care so much about the practitioners. They softly try to persuade
us to give up practicing Falun Dafa. But if one does not listen to them, after a
few days they turn completely ugly. Behind the scenes, the guards direct the
collaborators to hit and beat, scold, apply pressure by depriving them of sleep,
and torture the steadfast practitioners day and night.
They use the "Sandwiching" method on the persistent practitioners.
That is, two people work on a practitioner to isolate her and prevent her from
talking with others. If this has no effect, they discuss how to punish the
practitioner with electric batons, handcuffs, hitting, and beating. They torture
practitioners mentally and physically by denying them sleep and forcing them to
"squat" for long periods of time. Practitioners are made to hold the
squatting posture from 5:00 AM of one day to 2:30 the next morning. Meanwhile,
practitioners are only allowed 2 hours of sleep or no sleep at all. Sometimes
the practitioners are also forced to squat during meals. If the practitioners
cannot maintain the squatting posture, they are hit and beaten. Due to the lack
of normal sleep for a long time, some practitioners would doze off while
"squatting."
After being tormented in such a way for more than a month, every practitioner
detained at Masanjia was totally exhausted and many lost a lot of weight. Such
"squatting" causes tremendous pain that defies description. It hurts
like one is tearing a tendon or breaking a bone. Some people experience nerve
damage; the legs become so numb that one cannot move. Some fell down when they
tried to walk after squatting for a long time. Others have uncontrollable
trembling because of the pain. On the surface, the guards did not appear to hit
or scold people. But in reality, the slow torment was very difficult and harder
to bear than even a severe beating.
The guards presented a fake nice face to the practitioners in front of
others. But behind people's backs, they fiercely mistreated the practitioners
who firmly believe in Falun Gong. One time, a guard pretended to take Ms. Zou
Guirong to watch an educational videotape. Instead, four or five guards took Ms.
Zou to a private room for punishment. They grabbed her hair and hit and kick her
without mercy. Ms. Zou was beaten all over her body was bleeding on certain
parts of her body. In order to prevent her crying out for help, they inhumanly
forced an electric baton onto her mouth to shock and quiet her.
After the incident, they changed her clothes and washed off the bloodstains
so as to hide the evidence of their ugly actions. The main guard arranged all of
that punishment but pretended to know nothing about it. All the while she stayed
in our dorm watching brainwashing videos with us so as to have an alibi. Back in
the dorm, Ms. Zou was not able to get out of the bed and had to rest for a few
days. When she woke up, her whole face was red and swollen. Due to the damage
caused by previously having an electric baton used to shock her mouth, Ms. Zou
had many big blisters inside the mouth. She could not speak or eat. After a few
days, her face turned from red to rusty purple and her eyes puffed up so much
she could hardly see. Ms. Zou's face was swollen and covered in purple-black
bruises that made others feel heart-broken and sorry for her. In the Labor Camp,
we could go to the restroom only at scheduled time periods, and had to line up
and wait at the door for our turn. But they told Ms. Zou to avoid the crowd and
go alone at a different time. The wicked guards tried to prevent Ms. Zou from
being seen so that their ugly fake goodness would not be exposed or known.
On one occasion, Ms. Zou Guirong stopped the guards from swearing at Dafa and
the Teacher. The guards then accused her of going insane. They called in seven
or eight guards to snatch, grab, and hold Ms. Zou so as to inject her with a
tranquilizer. Ms. Zou struggled hard to refuse it but in vain. In an incident as
scary and terrifying as a scene in a horror movie, the bad guards injected doses
of poison into her body. Due to her refusal to cooperate, the guards came up
with many ideas to "take care of" her. They cuffed her hands to a
chair so that Ms. Zou could not stand up. She had to sleep with both hands
cuffed to the headboard. Her hands became swollen because of the long-time
cuffing. She wore the handcuffs even during meals and when using the ladies
room. Ms. Zou was mistreated in this way for over two weeks. Then she and some
other firm practitioners were transferred to an unknown location. At that time,
Ms. Zou had been illegally for 3 months past her original sentence.
In our building there was another practitioner, Ms. Li Xiupin who unwillingly
stopped practicing Falun Gong under the violent pressure. But she awakened and
started to practice again. Then the Camp guards slandered her by saying spirits
had possessed her. Several guards took Ms. Li to a private room and hit her all
over to "chase away the possessing spirit." One guard choked her neck
so she couldn't breath, another one rode on her back while others hit her head
and face, and others stabbed her with 2-inch stainless steel needles. They poked
her body, foot arches, and palms randomly here and there. She was tortured to
the brink of death and the wicked guards still kept shouting "Obey or not?
We'll take care of you!" After the torment, Ms. Li Xiupin was disabled and
bed-ridden for several days.
There have been too many criminal acts of the Camp guards at Masanjia to
reveal and describe them all.
The most evil guards were praised as "the best" or "the most
perfect" "advanced workers" on CCTV [the state-owned television
station] or Focus Interviews controlled by Jiang and his accomplices. The
broadcasts talked about how "nicely" they were treating the detained
practitioners. As cultivators, we think of others in everything. We clarify the
truth (for the good of others). We only want to say something a few fair
words for Dafa. But then we are being persecuted and sent to the Labor Education
Camps, while those crime-committing guards are held up as (glorious)
examples.
