Huge Profits Made by Chaoyang District Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City By a Changchun City resident
(Clearwisdom.net) The Chaoyang District Forced Labor Camp in Changchun
City recently moved to an adjacent location. After the move, the old site was
leased to a few underground factories that have no business license and pay no
taxes. The labor camp forced detainees to work in these factories. The labor
camp police have made huge profits from this arrangement. These factories include a print shop, leather processing shop and a glass
factory that makes bottles for salad oil. We heard that these factories are very
likely owned by the labor camp police themselves or their friends. The labor camp officials made deals with the factory owners. They often
forced the labor camp detainees to fold paper in the print shop or work on
miscellaneous jobs in the leather processing shop. Exploitation in the print
shop is the most severe. We learned that these factories take advantage of this
cheap labor and the labor camp police pocket big profits. The detainees there have to work days and nights. They only rest for a few
hours every day. Their meals are very meager and dirty. Occasionally, when the
food supply improved, it was no more than a steamed bun. The vegetables were
whatever was the cheapest. Sometimes they would serve the same type of vegetable
for months. The buns were extremely white and looked unusual. Many labor camp detainees
developed a serious chronic illness after eating these buns. The symptom was
similar to tuberculosis. Several people eventually died, and some survivors
later went home. They had to spend a large amount of money on medical bills.
Some died due to lack of treatment because they could not afford the medical
fees. The labor camp employed a so-called "merry-go-round," brainwashing
newly detained Falun Gong practitioners non-stop. The camp police tried to force
the practitioners to denounce their belief. They played video and audio tapes
slandering Falun Gong and Master Li. They deprived Falun Gong practitioners of
sleep and denied them toilet breaks. This torture would last one week if the
practitioner refused to give up Falun Gong. The camp police used many other
kinds of torture techniques on these practitioners. They invented many dreadful
methods to harm the practitioners without leaving any evidence. One of the
torture methods was to put several plastic bags over the person's head and tie
it off at the neck. The victims would have difficulty breathing and eventually
suffocate. This was a form of murder, and people killed this way showed no signs
of physical abuse. We appeal for an investigation of these crimes committed by those
perpetrators at the Chaoyang Forced Labor Camp in Changchun. The governmental
Business and Tax Administration should thoroughly investigate these factories. September 1, 2004
