The Suffering of Wu Yuling in the Banqiao Female Labor Camp, Tianjin City

(Clearwisdom.net)

Ms. Wu Yuling previously lived in the mountainous area of Ji County. Because she handed out materials that told the facts about Falun Gong, she was illegally arrested and sent to a forced labor camp. With a firm belief in Falun Gong, she refused to collaborate with the police there, so the authorities forced her to do the hardest labor they could. That involved continuously loading and unloading heavy bags of goods, each of which weighed about sixty-five to seventy kilograms (about one hundred fifty pounds). In the midst of a harsh winter, the police took off her clothes and threw her naked out into the yard so as to make her suffer through freezing.

The police routinely instigate the inmates to torture the Falun Gong practitioners in the camp, and there is a rule: if the prisoners help police beat the practitioners, they will get "bonus points" towards an early release, so from time to time the inmates beat Ms. Wu Yuling so badly that it made blood pool under her skin; this time her face and head were swollen and distorted. After the torture, the guards paraded her through the cell block. "It will be your end if you refuse to give up Falun Gong!" The police raised a ruckus to threaten other jailed practitioners.

Some collaborators [former Falun Gong practitioners who have gone astray due to brainwashing and torture] also slammed Ms. Wu on the head with high-heeled shoes. The police took what they did as evidence to demonstrate "successful brainwashings."

At present, Ms. Wu Yuling is still being tortured in the Banqiao Female Labor Camp, and her life is in grave danger.
