Behind the "100% Transformation Rate" at the Tumuji Labor Camp
(Clearwisdom.net) Since May 2002, the abuse of Falun Dafa practitioners in
the Tumuji Labor Camp in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous District has intensified.
The police have tried all sorts of means to try to force Falun Dafa
practitioners to give up their belief and "be transformed." Officials gave the
order to use any means possible, ignoring the practitioner's safety. They handcuff practitioners and hang them up by the cuffs, with only the tip
of their toes touching the floor. This is done for more than 2 hours at a time,
several times each day. Some practitioners are shocked with electric batons
while hanging there. After practitioners were beaten and subjected to sleep deprivation for
several days, the police would have several people grab the practitioners' hands
and force their fingerprints onto Guarantee Statements written by someone else.
Then the police would declare that these practitioners have been "transformed."
Ms. Li Shuping is an older practitioner. After her fingerprint was forcibly
placed on the transformation statement, she could not eat or sleep. She asked
for her "statement" back and was rejected each time. The mental strain had
severe adverse effects on her, and she had to be sent to the hospital numerous
times. Yin Guijuan, a female police officer, beat one practitioner until she passed
out. Yin used a pin to pierce the practitioner's lower eye lid. Yin went as far
as to sexually violate practitioners with her hand. Many practitioners declared their forced fingerprint statements to be null
and void, and they were severely beaten afterwards. Policeman Yin beat Ms. Wang
Guihua with a wet towel, resulting in Wang's face becoming swollen and bruised.
Her eyes were swollen shut, and she was rendered beyond recognition by the
beatings. One practitioner escaped but was later caught. The police beat her
inhumanely, torturing her by pinching her nose and forcing-feeding her with
large quantities of cold water. Then they drenched her and used electric batons
to shock her. The ward leader Zhou Guoling (female) used an electric baton to shock her
nipples, and then had her beaten by other guards. They kicked her head
viciously, resulting in a huge bump the size of a fist on her forehead. Her face
was covered with bruises, and her body was covered with injuries. After the escape incident, the police changed their strategies. They
established a "transformation room." Practitioners would go through torture one
by one. There were more than 10 guards that would keep her from sleeping. They
forced her to stand for long periods of time, beat her, cursed at her and did
not allow any contact with anyone else. They even had her watched by several
people, even while she used the toilet. After more than a week, when they saw
that this practitioner was exhausted, they forced her fingerprint on the "Three
Statements (1)". During the time that practitioner Yu Wenxia went through that "transformation
room," the police handcuffed her and hung her up on the window frame. They used
electric batons to shock the soles of her feet and whipped her with a wet
leather belt. Two men whipped practitioner Meng Hulun with a leather belt under
Yin's instructions. They also whipped her face with a wet towel and kicked her.
This resulted in internal and external bleeding, as well as severe swelling. Practitioner Ms. Wang Guihua was also hung up by handcuffs, but she refused
to renounce Falun Gong. In the end all of the Falun Dafa practitioners whose
fingerprints were stolen declared that the "Three Statements" were null and
void. (1) Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write the
Three Statements as proof that they have given up their beliefs. Created by the
"610 Office," the Three Statements consist of a letter of repentance, a
guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong and a list of names and addresses
of family members, friends and acquaintances who are practitioners.
