Tortures Used on Practitioners at Shandong Province No. 2 Women's Forced Labor Camp (Reenactment Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) Shandong Province's No. 2 Women's Forced Labor Camp (also called Wangcun Women's Forced Labor Camp, located at No. 162, Wangcun Town, Zhoucun District, Zibo City) is one of the evil places where women Falun Gong practitioners in the province are illegally detained. There are four divisions right now in the forced labor camp, of which the No. 3 Division is the worst.

Around 2001, in an attempt to force practitioners to give up their practice of Falun Gong, the guards employed many torture methods to try to brainwash practitioners. Among other tortures, they forced the practitioners to sit on small stools for over ten hours every day, forbade them to use the toilet and deprived them of sleep and from taking showers. Long period of sitting on the small stools left big blood blisters on practitioners' buttocks. Ms. Liu Huifang and several other practitioners were tortured this way to the extent that they suffered mental trauma.

The head of the camp, Wang, and the guard Xiao Aihua called in some local ruffians and hooligans because the practitioners persisted in reciting the Fa and Teacher's new articles, and in practicing the exercises. They rushed into our cells to torture practitioners with electric-shock batons. They dragged steadfast practitioners out of the cells one by one to the corridor, viciously beat them with rubber batons, and shocked the sensitive parts of their bodies. Practitioners Ms. Tang Huixian and Ms. Zhuang Ruping were handcuffed on chairs and the perpetrators used electric batons to shock their palms, arches, faces, mouths, and chests. The torture caused the practitioners to lose control of their bowels.

Once, the head of the No. 2 Division, Wang Huili, ordered 20 to 30 male guards to shock more than 100 practitioners with electric batons in the corridor. The oldest practitioners were in their 60s and 70s and the youngest were 17-18 years old. After that, they handcuffed six to seven practitioners in solid confinement cells. Practitioner Ms. Han Xiuhua just said one sentence -- "Don't take them away, they [practitioners] are all good people" -- and the guards dragged her up to the fourth floor and tied her up on a chair, and then shocked her palms, face and four limbs. Her arms sustained big blood blisters, and when the blisters broke, the wounds ran with blood and pus. She could not wear clothes. It was so cold in winter that the wounds festered and would not heal. The guards still dragged her along, forcing her to "march like a soldier."

The following photos are reenactments of torture methods used on Falun Gong practitioners at the No. 2 Women's Forced Labor Camp in Shandong Province, based on the descriptions of those who experienced them.

A female labor camp authority ordered more than a dozen male guards to handcuff 50-year-old practitioner Li Guohua, an associate professor at a university in Shandong Province, to a chair, with her arms behind the back of the chair, and her feet painfully twisted inside the legs of the chair. They then shocked her nine times continuously with over ten electric batons. During the torture, the female head listened to Li Guohua's heart with a stethoscope, and said, "No danger, continue shocking." The perpetrators became even more vicious and repeatedly tortured Li Guohua.

The guards handcuffed practitioners who were on a hunger strike to a chair with their hands behind them, and inserted a tube into the practitioners' nose to force-feed them. After the force-feeding, the guards would not take out the tube, but would let it hang there painfully for several days.

The guards handcuffed hunger-striking practitioners spread-eagled to four big rings on a wooden bed and would not release them until several days later.

The guards handcuffed practitioners on hunger strike between two beds, and forced them to stand there for several days.
