About 700 Dafa Disciples Are Currently Detained And Brutally Tortured At Beijing Women's Labor Camp

May 30, 2003

Beijing Women's Labor Camp, formerly known as Xin'an Labor Camp, used to have 7 divisions. Since Dafa disciples detained in the 2^nd division joined together to oppose the brainwashing, that division was dismissed. About 700 Dafa disciples are now being held illegally in the remaining six divisions, and the majority of them are residents of Beijing.

A special unit was established in Beijing Women's Labor Camp to persecute determined Dafa disciples after all other means of torture had been unable to make them yield. The police in this unit issued orders to collaborators (former Dafa practitioners who have turned against Dafa under torture and pressure) and drug addicts that "any means can be used. As long as there is no death caused by your beating, we will back you up. We will reduce your terms for any successful brainwashing." In this "enforced team" (as the special unit is known) each practitioner receives only meager rations of corn bread each day. Sleep deprivation, brutal beatings and electric shocks are among the tortures used most.

The following are some Dafa disciples who are illegally detained and tortured in the "enforced team":

Zhang Yijie, over 40 years old, is a Beijing Dafa disciple. She used to be a division director in the Foreign Economic Trade Ministry. In 2002, her detention was illegally extended by 10 months. Zhang was isolated from others all the time. The police ordered that no one should speak to her, nor look her in the eyes. They assigned three drug-addicts to take turns keeping an eye on her.

Due to long time electric shocking and burning, her body was deformed. Her face was scorched and swollen, and it is now hard to recognize. Since Gui arrived at the labor camp, whenever she had the opportunity to step out of the confinement room, she called out with all her strength, "Falun Dafa is good!" The police and collaborators brutally beat her for this, but nothing could stop Gui. So later on they had to give up. In order to deceive her, The police in the labor camp even wrote to her in the name of her daughter.
