Brutality at the Majialong Forced Labor Camp in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Majialong Forced Labor Camp is an evil den where Falun Gong
practitioners are persecuted. It has many means of torture, and below are some
examples. Ms. Xia Cuilan, a former accountant of the Material Supply Bureau in Pengze
County, was kidnapped to Majialong Labor Camp. The guards forced Ms. Xia to
swear at Teacher and renounce her belief in Falun Dafa. Ms. Xia refused, and she
was then cruelly tortured. The police guard forcibly handcuffed her and hung her
up for four days and three nights, with only her toes touching the ground.
During the daytime, her arms were hung up straight. During the night, her arms
were lifted and tied up in a shape of a cross. Because of the torture, Ms. Xia's
feet were severely swollen with blisters. She also had urine soaking her body
because she was not allowed to use the bathroom. Such tortures were applied to
most practitioners there, of all different ages up to over 60 years old.
Sometimes, two or three practitioners were hung up on the same day. The hanging
time also varied. There is a "Strictly Monitored Group" in the Majialong Labor
Camp, where three drug addict inmates take turns viciously torturing
practitioners there. After the police guard put Ms. Xia Cuilan in the "Strictly
Monitored Group," the inmates forcibly pushed her head against the steel bed
frame for one day and one night. They forced Ms. Xia into a position with only
her toes touching the ground, so the majority of her body weight was added onto
her head. This caused the top of Ms. Xia's head to cave in, with hardly any hair
left. The inmates also forced her to push her head against the wall for one day
and one night. After Ms. Xia left the "Strictly Monitored Group," the police
guard pushed her onto the ground, and forced her to eat the dirty food on the
ground. Police guards in Majialong Labor Camp used more than 10 different methods to
torture Ms. Ge Ling, another practitioner in Yongxiu County. They first hung her
up, the same as what they did to Ms. Xia. The guards then ordered her to stand
on the edge of a stool. After standing, she was forced to kneel down on the
stool edges. This lasted more than five hours every time. As Ms. Ge was kneeling
down there, the guard forcibly stuffed food into her mouth. When Ms. Ge refused
and spat the food, the guard asked her to get down from the stool and eat the
food off the ground. The guard also used a broom to sweep the food together, and
forced Ms. Ge to grab the food on the floor with her hands and eat it. They also
tied up Ms. Ge tightly with many thin ropes, and forced her to kneel on the
ground in such a position that she was unable to straighten her back or bend
down. They also tied her hand to the back of her neck, sometimes her left hand,
and other times her right hand. In addition, they hung 4 wet bricks on Ms. Ge's
neck (later increasing this to 6 bricks). The police guards beat and kicked Ms.
Ge at will. Because of the beating, Ms. Ge's teeth came loose and her mouth was
full of blood; but she was not allowed to spit it out. Ms. Ge was also not
allowed to write and report these tortures to higher officials in the labor
camp. After Ms. Ge was tortured for 14 days in the "Strictly Monitored Group,"
she could barely walk. The police guards still did not stop. They swore at her,
asked her to clean the floor, fold the blankets (or quilts) into the regulation
standard like soldiers do. They also asked her to climb up high to clean the
windows and hanging fans. The working assignments given by the labor camp officials were always
overloaded. For several years, Ms. Ge had to work 17 hours a day to assemble
light bulbs. This led her eyesight to decrease dramatically. Because of the
fatigue caused by such intensive labor, Ms. Ge could only assemble the light
bulbs by feel. A normal assignment is 0.6 kilogram per day, the assignment for
her is 1. 5 kilogram per day, which even exceeded the work assignment given to
drug addict inmates. (In fact, Falun Gong practitioners are normally given more
assignments than others.) Still, the police guards said Ms. Ge should be given
even more assignments. Ms. Ge was previously detained in a solitary confinement room for nearly one
year. And some practitioners were detained in the confinement room for more than
one year. For a drug addict inmate, such punishment does not exceed 7 days. A
person surnamed Wu once led several drug addict inmates to grab Ms. Ge by the
head and bash it against the wall. They also kicked her and beat her up. In
order to cover up the beating sound, they turned the radio volume to maximum.
When Falun Gong practitioners were hung up, the guards made fun of them, and
sang songs while watching them suffer. The drug addict inmates also used bed
sheets to cover Ms. Ge's mouth and did not allow her to speak. The police guards once forced a menstrual blood-soaked sanitary pad into the
mouth of Ms. He, a practitioner from Jiujiang. When Fu Xiuzhen was using the
toilet, a police guard burst in and forcibly dragged her off --simply because
the guard wanted to use the toilet. Dafa practitioner Wu Yanping was stripped of
all her clothes, even underwear. Ms. Jiang Xiaoying was a former nurse from the
Fifth Hospital in Jiujiang City. When she was in the detention center, the
police guards tortured her with a torture named "the bed at ease." This torture
was very cruel. All of her limbs were tied up with only a hole in the bed for
urination and defection. It was specially designed to torture Falun Gong
practitioners. Moreover, Ms. Jiang Xiaoying was tortured under the burning sun
in the summer. After she was transferred from the detention center to Majialong
Labor Camp, Ms. Jiang Xiaoying was further persecuted. Because of the brutal
torture for such a long time, together with threats and pressure, Ms. Jiang
Xiaoying later suffered a mental collapse. In the Majialong Labor Camp, visits by family members were monitored by
police guards. When some practitioners told their family of the torture they had
experienced, it led to even harsher persecution. After Ms. Ge Ling exposed the
tortures she had experienced, the police guards instigated the drug addict
inmates to not allow Ms. Ge to use the bath room. She had to endure with using
the bathroom from noon till evening. Because of this, her bladder was in pain
for several days. Ms. Wei Anzhen is a practitioner from Ruichang. When Song Wengang was
torturing her, he said that if she did not renounce her belief, she would be
tortured until she weighed less than 40 kilograms [approximately 88 lbs]
(Ms. Wei used to be more than 50 kilograms [110 lbs]). In the Majialong
Labor Camp, it was very common for practitioners to lose 10 or 20 kilograms [20-40
lbs] because of the torture. Chen Xine is another practitioner in Ruichang.
The police guard did not release her until she became extremely emaciated
because of the torture. Song Wengang once told Ms. Xia Cuilan, "If I torture you
to death, what can you do about it?" |
