Police Subject Practitioners in Masanjia Labor Camp to Inhuman Persecution
(Clearwisdom.net) In November 2003, Falun Dafa practitioner Wang
Shuping shouted, "Falun Dafa Hao!" (Falun Dafa is great!) For doing
so, she was then locked up in a small isolation cell for 15 days by Zhang Lei
(police team number 211870), the commander of the second division of the third
unit of Masanjia Camp. The cell guard also beat her with an electric baton. In mid-February 2004, Wang Shuping shouted, "Falun Dafa Hao!"
again. The police and their collaborators tied her with ropes, handcuffed her,
refused to let her use a restroom, and denied her sleep. This went on for nearly
a month. Meanwhile, she lost two teeth because each day they stuffed her mouth
with rags to keep her from speaking. She is currently on the first floor under
strict supervision and subjected to severe torture. In November 2003, Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Shuchun was sent to a small
isolation cell for ten days for handwriting a copy of Teacher's words. After she
was released from the isolation cell, both of her legs were so swollen that she
could not walk normally for a very long time. Shi Chunying refused to recite the thirty rules or to sing the propaganda
songs that prisoners were forced to sing, so she was put under strict
supervision and slated for harsh persecution. She is not allowed any outdoor
activity and has been given only coarse grain and salted vegetables to eat for
over a month. Practitioner Shi Jinying is in the first division of the third unit. The
police of the first division tortured her many times because she shouted, "Falun
Dafa Hao!" Her face bears the deep mark of a handprint from being
handcuffed and severely beaten repeatedly. The police often tied her up with
ropes, would not let her sleep, and forced her to stand or remain in a squatting
position for long periods of time. The cruelty she suffered, and continues to
suffer until today, was so horrible that one cannot bear to look. Panjing describes her own painful experience: "Toward the end of 2002 in Masanjia's Second Women's Camp, the police
were forcing Falun Dafa practitioners to renounce their belief, while horror
could be felt everywhere. The police carried handcuffs and ropes with them. The
authorities were going wild. Because of my refusal to comply with their demands,
police officer Zhang Lei, collaborator Jiang Lei and seven or eight others
forced my legs into the lotus position and tied them up. They cuffed my hands
together and tied them behind my chair for several hours. I managed to untie
myself sometime later, but collaborator Zhang Huaizhi tied me up again, this
time so tightly that I could not move at all. I suffered tremendous pain. When
the rope was finally loosened, my ankles were full of large blisters and my
hands were numb. Even in this condition, my tormentor still forced me to remain
in a squatting position for over two weeks and would not let me sleep. My toes
became deformed. I have been confined in an isolation cell for over four months
now for reciting Teacher's lectures. The abusive police denied me any outdoor
activity or showers and force me to eat highly salted vegetables and corn
cakes--for a while they even fed me uncooked corn cakes. I loudly recited
Teacher's words which caused guard Zhang Huan to direct two collaborators, [former
practitioners of Falun Dafa who renounced their belief under high pressure and
torture and now are used to persecute fellow practitioners] Sun Xuejuan and
Ma Xiaoli, to handcuff me to the bed, stuff rags into my mouth, and seal it with
adhesive tape. When I practiced the exercises, a few collaborators handcuffed me
to the bed for over three weeks, allowing me to use the toilet only four times a
day. Ma Dongmei hit my face with a metal ladle for no reason. I spoke loudly to
other individually confined practitioners to expose their vicious acts, and
guard Zhang Huan led two others (one of them was Chen Hongwei) to cover me with
tape, including my whole face, so that I couldn't see. I refused to eat any food
in protest of the treatment I received. That worried the guards so they altered
the punishment from hanging me in handcuffs to handcuffing me to a bed. This
lasted for over three weeks. They only let me use the toilet once a day,
sometimes once every day and a half. Regardless of how cruelly the guards acted,
they were unable to change determined practitioner's rock-solid minds, because
Falun Dafa practitioners cannot be broken." Dafa practitioner Huang Guifen was originally assigned to the second division
of the first unit. She remained steadfast in her practice of Falun Dafa. The
police felt they could not deceive her so she was sent to the first division of
the first unit for forced brainwashing order to get her to renounce her belief
in Falun Dafa. The police handcuffed her, hung her from heating pipes and broke
her arm. Her legs became so atrophied that she cannot walk, and her broken arm
is so withered that it is difficult for her to move it. She had already
completed her jail term but the police would not release her. She was confined
to an isolation cell for one month. The incessant tortures she was subjected to
weakened her body. She has high blood pressure, heart disease, and a hard lump
near her heart pains her so much that she cannot fall asleep. She applied for
permission to leave on medical parole but the authorities refuse to release her. Falun Dafa practitioner Hu Ying persisted in studying the Fa and doing the
exercises, so the guards used handcuffs, rope and other instruments of torture
to restrain her for two long years. During those years, she was also confined in
an isolation cell five times. The guards persecuted her both mentally and
physically. When she was in the forced conversion unit, Wang Xiaofeng used an
electric baton to shock her mouth so that she could no longer open it; her right
hand was shocked until it bled. They took off her shoes and socks to shock the
center of her foot. She still did not yield, so the police locked her in an
isolation cell to intensify the persecution. Initially they denied her food and
water. They let her freeze by periodically leaving the window open in the
freezing cold of December. The police made frequent attempts to force Dafa
practitioners to condemn their belief in December when it was freezing cold. On
the shady east side of the fourth floor of Masanjia Camp, Huying froze for
twenty days. When she was released, she was skin and bones. She could not move
her hands freely because they were swollen and dark purple. Her shoes would not
fit because both feet were so swollen, and her toes had festered. Both of her
knees were swollen and red. Today the police are still persecuting her. They
force her to sit on a small, cold, plastic pedestal each day. She cannot go to
sleep until 1:30 in the morning and she has to get up and be sitting on the
pedestal by 4:00 in the morning. There is always someone watching her. Even so,
she cannot be forced to renounce her firm, righteous belief in Dafa and Teacher. Falun Dafa practitioner Su Yiwen (Suming) has persisted in studying the Falun
Dafa principles, practicing the exercises, sending forth righteous thoughts, and
clarifying the truth ever since she was abducted and sent to Masanjia Labor
Camp. The police shackled her hands separately and made her sit on a small
plastic chair twenty-four hours a day even when it was obvious that she had a
serious heart problem, high blood pressure and other conditions. In the summer,
the skin that touched the plastic chair festered. She sat like that for an
entire year. Eventually, her life was in grave condition because of her heart
and lung problems. During that time, she was also confined in the small
isolation cell. Now, she can no longer get out of bed, and a hard lump has
appeared in her abdomen. She has no money, so the police refuse to permit her to
have a physical examination. She was diagnosed with illnesses previously, but
the police secretly collaborated with Masanjia hospital personnel to falsify her
physical exam and giver her a passing grade so they can continue to detain and
torture her. These days, her abdomen hurts so much that it is very difficult for
her to sit or stand. She is looking very pale and her life is in grave danger. On behalf of all the named Falun Dafa practitioners, we call on all the good
people around the world to pay attention to, to support, and to save the Falun
Dafa practitioners who are being persecuted in Masanjia. These are the bloody
and tearful protests from the Falun Dafa practitioners who are still being
persecuted. Every day when we practice our morning exercises, there are always Falun Dafa
practitioners who shout, "Falun Dafa Hao!" The collaborators who have
renounced their belief in Falun Dafa would always beat practitioners harshly,
confine them in small cells, deny them sleep, and stuff rags into their mouths.
The labor work that we are assigned to do is toxic. Some Dafa practitioners who
have been there for a long time have developed health problems - vomiting,
losing consciousness, and fainting while they are at work. The director, Su Jing,
told the people who were affected by the poison, "You'll be fine if you
adjust your mental attitude." What nonsense! What kind of adjustment is
this! It is obvious that it is poison. Sometimes we work overtime until 10:00 pm
and they don't care about our lives. To raise the conversion rate percentage [refers
to the number of Falun Dafa practitioners they can force to sign a written
statement renouncing their belief] in order to obtain a monetary reward, the
prison personnel behave irresponsibly and secretly direct the collaborators to
persecute Dafa practitioners using severe cruelty. Those sly police with deceptive smiles on their faces lie to the newly
arrived Dafa practitioners saying, "You'll save your whole family if you
renounce." But after seven or eight days, when they cannot make Dafa
practitioners sign the statements, the labor camp personnel reveal their true
evil nature and begin the torture. If a practitioner does not submit to their
demand to renounce Falun Dafa within three months, their camp stay is extended
for an extra month. At present, Dafa practitioners in Masanjia are in poor health due to the
brutal persecution they are facing. When an inspector visits, the police hide
the sick and those who cannot walk so the inspector will not see them. I now stay on the first floor. This is the floor where the tortures take
place. Observing the unwavering Dafa practitioners being persecuted until their
last, weak breaths and until they are mentally unstable is horrifying to watch. On the surface, Masanjia Forced Labor Camp appears to be civilized, when in
truth it is actually a place that specializes in persecuting Dafa practitioners!
Every year between October and December, the labor camp personnel gear up for a
long fight. In the name of "social re-education," a large number of
police are sent from other places. They are in fact a group of cruel oppressors
who torment Dafa practitioners. The group punishes practitioners who do not
submit to "transformation" by beating, punching, kicking, and hitting
them in the face, denying them sleep, and tying their legs in the lotus position
with rope. These are tactics used to torture Dafa practitioners in order to
force them to give up their belief. When female Dafa practitioner Mao Shulan, 47 years old from Anshan, resolved
to persist in Dafa cultivation, the evil police used the torture method of
stretching to tie both of her legs in the lotus position with rope for almost
five hours. Her legs were so swollen that her heel was invisible when they
finally loosened the rope. They then made her stand with both feet on bricks and
deprived her of sleep for six days. A collaborator was stationed to monitor on
her. The blood vessels in both of her eyes were filled with blood. She had
difficulty walking because both of her feet were very bloated. She was fed
steamed cornbread and salted vegetables every day in the police restroom. Even
with such cruel torture, they could not sway this practitioner, who would give
up her own life rather change her belief in Dafa. Running out of alternatives in
trying to convert this practitioner's rock solid belief in Dafa, they had to let
her go home. In the dark nights, one can often hear the police loudly shouting at Dafa
practitioners as well as Dafa practitioners' loudly calling out "Falun Dafa
Hao!" and "Restore My Teacher's Pure Name!" The guards preferred
methods of torture include shocks with electric batons, the "big hang
up" (practitioners are hung on a metal frame or heating pipe with their
hands handcuffed behind them), solitary confinement in a small cell, and other
cruel devices. We are calling all the good people in the world to empathize with the
oppressed Dafa practitioners in Masanjia. It is best to organize a special task
force to do in-depth internal investigations to expose the evil and cruel things
happening there. We'd like to apprehend Jiang Zemin's entire criminal group and
make sure they are brought to justice for the crimes they have committed. There are eighteen divisions for the three units of the Second Women's Camp
in Masanjia: First unit commander - Wang Xiaofeng First division - Xue Feng Second unit commander - Zhang Xiurong First division - Wang Xiaofeng Fourth division - Wang Xiuju Third unit commander - Li Yuming First division - Zhao Jinghua Direct subordinate unit: (The direct subordinate unit is the most vicious unit.) Independent unit commander - Lu Yueqin A former third unit commander who has been reassigned to a subordinate unit-Qiuping "Teaching faculty": Director-Fang Yehong The so-called Psychological Recovery Center on the fourth floor of the camp The second floor is equipped with noise and light therapy equipment (it plays
music that paralyzes human will power and hypnotizes). The third floor is called the "Emotional Tuning Room." This small
room is padded with sponges over ten centimeters thick. It lacks oxygen for the
air cannot penetrate the sponges. This room is used to lock up those
practitioners who shout positive messages about Falun Dafa. One can see the
handprints, all over the sponges, of those who have struggled while being
suffocated. On the afternoon of March 18, 2004 at 1:15 pm, in the third unit of the camp,
a Falun Dafa practitioner whose mouth was taped shut, hands handcuffed, and
covered with a cotton jacket was dragged by the unit commander and two others
for treatment. A Falun Dafa practitioner named Li Hong, who was hung with hands handcuffed,
was beaten for two days and nights. Some were beaten hanging upside down. This
kind of brutality cannot be described in human terms. The direct subordinate
unit (also called the industrious labor unit) is the most cruel. Beatings and
forcing conversions are regular occurrences. It is in total darkness with
absolutely no light.
