(Clearwisdom.net) In the fifth brigade of the Changlinzi Labor Camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, the Dafa practitioners who have better eyesight are forced to weld together traffic control batons used by traffic police. The batons are exported to South Korea.

Practitioners with worse eyesight are forced to make toothpicks. The labor camp forces them to work 16-17 hours a day. Those who can't work as fast end up having to work day and night. Corn noodles and bread are the only food ever available. Only on April 24, when higher authorities came to inspect the labor camp, were the practitioners given something better to eat. Practitioners receive electric shock torture and beatings all the time.

The police here have totally lost control in persecuting Dafa practitioners. They often start torturing practitioners after mealtime. Some of them even force-feed practitioners with alcohol.

We call for the support of all kindhearted people to ask the labor camps in China to stop this illegal slavery and persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
