The Guards of Masanjia Labor Camp are Losing Hope and the Evil Persecution is Coming to an End
(Clearwisdom.net) Practitioners who have just been released from Masanjia Labor Camp brought us
the latest news about the camp situation. From the very beginning of the evil persecution, the Masanjia Labor Camp has
taken a leading role in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Over the past few
years, there has never been less than one thousand female Falun Gong
practitioners jailed at Masanjia, and at one time there were more than 1,500.
Police treated the detained practitioners harshly, torturing them both
physically and spiritually. Usually at the end of every year, Masanjia Labor Camp would invite a
so-called "help group" to assist them in setting up a system of forced
transformation. The system plays a key role in what they call the
"proactive warfare" of using all kinds of physical torture and
brainwashing methods to try to force practitioners to give up their beliefs. After the "proactive wars" of late 2003 and early 2004, Teacher's
new articles were circulated around the labor camp, strengthening the resolve of
the detained practitioners. These practitioners became even firmer, and some who
had been transformed gradually woke up and wrote "solemn declarations"
from within the labor camp. In the second half of last year, some of the "collaborators,"
former practitioners who had turned against Dafa and participated in efforts to
transform other Dafa practitioners, were released at the end of their jail
terms. In early October of 2004, the Longshan Labor Camp in Shenyang city was
shut down and about one hundred illegally-jailed practitioners were transferred
to Masanjia Labor Camp. At the end of that same month, the Dalian Labor Camp was
shut down and an additional 120 practitioners were transferred to Masanjia. At
that time, there were about eight hundred practitioners jailed in Masanjia Labor
Camp. Within the short time between December of 2004 and the beginning of 2005,
more than two hundred practitioners wrote a "solemn declaration" and
announced that the "transformation" forced upon them through
brainwashing was invalid, and began to practice Falun Gong again. These huge
changes in Masanjia Labor Camp demonstrate a new trend in the persecution. Let's take the first section of the second division as an example. In the
time leading up to September 20 of 2004, there were only two or three people who
did not awaken out of about 30, and the "help groups" ceased. Due to
the progress of Fa-rectification and the recent efforts of sending righteous
thoughts by all practitioners in Liaoning Province, the evil factors behind
Masanjia Labor Camp have been eliminated quickly and on a large scale. As a
result, the persecution has shown signs of losing ground bit by bit. Recently one practitioner was unconditionally released, and before his
release he heard a "collaborator" complain to a police leader that
"the transformation efforts are not working anymore." During last
year's annual meeting, one police leader was complaining loudly because there
were not many collaborators left to assist with the persecution. Before sending this article out, I received information from Masanjia Labor
Camp that about two hundred Dafa practitioners had started a group hunger strike
to demand their unconditional release. By January 8, 2005, the hunger strike had
reached its tenth day. The labor camp sealed off all information outlets and
refused to allow hunger strikers to be visited by their relatives. (Note: for home or office phone numbers, dial country code + area code before
