Guard in the Beijing Prisoner Dispatch Center for Forced Labor Camps Admits: "We Have a Quota for Deaths"
(Clearwisdom.net, July 30, 2003)
The Prisoner Dispatch Center for forced labor camps in Beijing moved to a new
address at the end of 2001. Every one of the people who were sent to labor camps
through this dispatch center was forced to do one particular
"ceremony."
They were taken to a place away from their dormitory. Two rows of fully armed
police stood several feet away from each other. All had electric batons in hand.
A policeman stood in the front. All the people going to the forced labor camps,
including Falun Gong practitioners, were ordered to squat down with hands around
their heads. Then the police officer in front held up a shiny knife and started
to give them a lesson, "From now on you are a person in 'forced labor
education'." Then the policemen and policewomen sent the newcomers to their
dormitories, shouting along the way.
Since many Falun Gong practitioners had endured all kinds of torture before
being sent to the labor camps, many of them had wounds and injuries from the
torture. Also, many practitioners had gone on hunger strikes in the detention
centers to protest the illegal detention. So many of them were very weak. It was
difficult for them to walk fast while carrying their luggage. The police then
said viciously, "Don't think you will get released for having health
problems. Even if you die, it doesn't matter. We have a quota for deaths." |
