Falun Dafa Practitioner Zhu Xiaofei Suffers from Hard Labor in Guanshan Forced Labor Camp in Changtu City, Liaoning Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Zhu Xiaofei from Lushunkou District, Dalian City, Liaoning province, has
been illegally detained as a result of going to Beijing to peacefully appeal to the Chinese
government to end the persecution of Falun Gong. Due to his steadfast belief in Dafa, his workplace,
the Lushun 4810 factory, fired him and withheld a full year's salary and bonus. While he was
detained, 800 Yuan [Approximately 6 weeks salary of an average urban worker] was extorted
from him on two occasions. Police officer Ye Qiang from the Lushunkou District police station
deceived Zhu by pretending to invite him for a talk. Once Zhu was at the police station Ye Qiang
forced him to speak out. Ye Qiang forced him to stand in a position called the "Horsestep"
[A punishment that requires the person to put one leg forward, one leg straight backward, but the
knee of the front leg has to be bent. This position is then held for a long time], and also
tightly tied a rope around his neck, handcuffed him and shocked his body with electric batons. After
Zhu Xiaofei was severely tortured, he started a hunger strike to protest such brutal treatment.
After a week of hunger striking, under the pressure of public opinion, the police had to release him
and allow him to go home. Zhu has been illegally detained in such a manner twice. After these
incidents, the police didn't dare to go to his home to arrest him; instead, on November 26th
2001 they went to his workplace to abduct him. After Zhu Xiaofei was abducted he was sent to the Dalian forced labor camp to be tortured. The
police blocked all information regarding his arrest and would not even allow his relatives to visit
him. There are many well-educated Falun Dafa practitioners detained in the Dalian forced labor camp.
The policemen instructed criminals to observe 6 to 10 Falun Dafa practitioners each; they even
allowed the criminals to torture practitioners by shocking them with electric batons. Some were used
on practitioners daily and were used so often that they ran out of power. Practitioners who are very
steadfast (will not renounce their practice of Falun Gong) were secretly sent to different
places--nobody knew where until very recently, when it was learned that they were sent to the
Guanshan forced labor camp in Changtu City Liaoning province, and made to perform hard forced labor.
The forced labor consisted of loading and transporting stones with some kind of vehicle. Every load
weighed 1,000kg and 120 loads have to be transported daily. For a person like Zhu Xiaofei, who
weighs only a little over 50 kg, it's not difficult to imagine the intensity of this work. Suffering
alongside Zhu are Falun Dafa practitioners from the Dalian ship building company. Some of these
people are university graduates, and some are postgraduates. Altogether, 27 people were sent to the
Guanshan forced labor camp on February 4th 2002. The only reason why they are being
tortured is that they practice Falun Dafa and believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion,
Forbearance." Police officer Ye Qiang was transferred to Lushun Minzhuqiao police station and his new phone
number is 86-411-6613089 Originally posted on June 12, 2002 Posting date: 6/20/2002
