The Atrocities by Male Guards at the Beijing Female Forced Labor Camp

By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) I'm a Falun Gong practitioner. Because I firmly believe in Dafa, I was illegally arrested while I was at home and was sentenced to prison. I was detained in Beijing's Tiantanghe Forced Labor Camp, which has now been moved to a new place and had its name changed to the Beijing Female Forced-labor Camp. I wanted to write down what I witnessed to let people around the world know how Jiang's political group persecutes Dafa practitioners.

Their so-called "reformed education" means that you cannot have your own beliefs and personal freedom and you have to absolutely obey their orders and methods of "reform." For those Dafa practitioners who refused to obey, guards either beat them or cursed at them. The guards also had prisoners torture many practitioners who didn't cooperate. Those practitioners were not allowed to sleep and eat, and they were not even allowed to use toilets. While the prisoners were beating practitioners, the guards would close the doors so others could not hear the sound of the beating or the practitioners' cries due to the pain. They also used underwear soiled with the menstrual blood of those who were having their periods to stuff in practitioners' mouths. Some practitioners were beaten until they had bruises all over their bodies that stayed for 3 or 4 months. A practitioner remained faithful and firm to Dafa, so the male guards forcibly penetrated her vagina and sexually assaulted her with a toothbrush handle. When another practitioner was sent to the forced-labor camp, her lower back was severely twisted. Her head had been twisted for about 150 degrees and almost facing her back. When I first saw her, I thought she was in her 70s. She told me that her lower back had been twisted because the guards in the detention center handcuffed her hands and feet together for over ten days after other excruciating tortures were performed on her. When she was sent to the first forced-labor camp, because she didn't cooperate with the vicious people there, they then twisted her neck. After she was sent to this forced-labor camp, the guards started torturing her. They didn't let her go to bed for 9 consecutive days and nights, forced her to stand still without moving, didn't give her any meals and even forbade her to use the toilet. Not until then did I know that she was actually only in her 40s and her height was 5'7". A person in her 40s had, through torture, been made to look like someone in her 70s, simply because she upheld her belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. After we were relocated to the new site, the head of their unit sent her to the intensive-training unit that was even more vicious. I really had no idea what kind of horrible torture she had to endure there.

I heard that Zhao Ming, the practitioner from Ireland, was also sent to this forced-labor camp and had received inhuman torture.

Dafa practitioners who read this message, please send forth righteous thoughts to help fellow practitioners step out of this man-made hell as early as possible.
