Dalian City Forced Labor Camp in Liaoning Province -- Deceptive, Wicked and Violent
By a Falun Dafa practitioner from China
(Clearwisdom.net) 1. The Regulations of Dalian City Forced Labor Camp Are Only Decorations -
Officials Brutally Persecute Falun Dafa Practitioners The new regulations for the officials that were formulated in the Dalian City
Forced Labor Camp in July, 2003 state that, "No one is allowed to beat,
swear, physically punish, or insult at will the people who are being reeducated
through forced labor in the camp." However, the camp officials didn't dare
to announce this regulation to the camp, nor is it enforced. When Falun Dafa practitioners' family members come to visit them, they often
bring food for the practitioners. The guards casually share the food amongst
themselves without giving it to the practitioners. They search practitioners'
bodies any time they want. All Falun Dafa practitioners' rights are withheld in
the camp and they are only allowed to work with their heads down. When Sun Lulu was the supervisor of the Third Division, she only allowed
practitioners to use the bathroom four times per day. The first time was in the
morning when the practitioners washed their faces and brushed their teeth, the
second time was after finishing their morning work, the third time was after
finishing their afternoon work, and the last time was after finishing their
evening work, after 9:00 p.m. The practitioners had their meals immediately
after visiting the bathrooms without being allowed to wash their hands. They
were only permitted to have their bowel movements after 10:00 p.m. However, if
the water ran out by flushing the toilets, the practitioners would not be
allowed to have their bowel movements even after 10:00 p.m. Practitioners Ms.
Gong Xuerong, Ms. Li Jun, and Ms. Wang Gangfu had to use the toilet one day at
noontime but were caught by some criminals who dragged them out of the bathroom
and reported them to Sun Lulu. Ms. Li Jun was locked up in a small cell
(1) just because she called out "Falun Dafa is good" in the work
place. After she was released from the small cell, there was a cut near her
right eye. At the end of 2002, guard Yuan Lingyue attended a meeting in Benxi. After she
came back on January 4, 2003, the camp began another round of persecution and
forced transformation of the Falun Dafa practitioners. The guards regard the
practitioners' lives as worthless while they pursue their bonuses, reputations,
and benefits. Additionally, they deceive visiting officials who come from other
camps and different Procuratorates. If the practitioners were working when the
officials came to visit and inspect, they would tell the practitioners to take
off their aprons and reveal their red cards. They lie to the visiting officials
saying that the Falun Gong practitioners with red cards had given up Falun Gong
when in fact they had not.(2) When guard Xu Lili became the supervisor of the Third Division, the already
inhuman situation worsened. They talked one way, but acted another way. They
beat and swore at the practitioners any time they wanted. They didn't even give
66-year-old Ms. An Yuhong a break. There was a monitoring room on the first
floor. Xu Lili frequently took the practitioners there to torture them. Wan Yalin, the deputy-team leader, regarded Falun Gong practitioners as her
enemies. One of the practitioners said: "It is wrong to brainwash Falun
Gong practitioners." So Wan Yalin said that the practitioner was spreading
a negative attitude and violating the labor camp regulations. Guard Wang Shiqing
tried to force the practitioner to write a self examination report (self
criticism report) to admit that she was wrong, but she refused. Wang Shiqing
then locked up the practitioner in a small cell and incited criminal Zhang
Xiujuan to torture her. The camp officials regard Falun Dafa practitioners as moneymaking slaves. The
practitioners start work at 6:10 a.m. and don't stop until evening. Sometimes,
after they just finished the daily work at 8:00 or 9:00 p.m., they are also
forced to make chopsticks, toothpicks, ice cream sticks and others items until
midnight. If the practitioners don't finish their assignment of sorting beans,
they have to carry the beans upstairs to continue working. Sometimes, they are
punished by having to sort the beans until 3:00 or 4:00 a.m. Then they have to
get up and start another work day at 5:15 a.m. 2. Camp Officials Instigate Criminals to Persecute Falun Dafa Practitioners The camp specially selects ruthless criminals to torture Falun Dafa
practitioners. In the Dalian City Forced Labor Camp, these criminals plunder,
beat, swear and instruct practitioners whenever they desire. These
"conveniences" and "rights" were provided by camp officials. When a practitioner first arrives in the camp, she is strip searched from
inside to outside by the camp criminals. Second, she must recite the camp's
regulations, the so-called "five models and thirty regulations." After
eating lunch, she is taken outside to start "military training" by
being baked under the sun. If the practitioner doesn't recite the "thirty
regulations," she is locked up in a small cell or locked in an iron cage,
and then over ten criminals together savagely beat her. In the winter, they
strip off the practitioner's clothes and hit her with narrow floor boards,
shoes, and other things. They also step on the practitioner's abdomen, or hang
the practitioner with her arms parallel to the floor and her legs spread apart.
They the beat her lower body with a board. If the practitioner screams, the
criminals put dirty rags into her mouth to gag her. They also punish
practitioners using the methods of forced standing for a long time and sleep
deprivation. Practitioners Ms. Wan Xiaohui and Ms. Wang Xiumei suffered from those
tortures and the heavy bruises still remain on their legs. After these tortures,
the practitioner is brought upstairs, where collaborators try to brainwash her.
If the practitioner still doesn't give up Falun Gong, the practitioner is locked
up in a small cell again and the torture continues. They torture the
practitioner by using methods such as hanging up by the handcuffed wrists with
the feet not touching the floor, sleep deprivation, withholding bathroom
privileges, tying the practitioner on the Dead Person's Bed (3), forcing a brush
into the practitioner's vagina, placing hot peppers in the practitioner's
vagina, force feeding with human excrement and human urine, and other methods.
Some practitioners, including Ms. Wang Guangfu, 60, Ms. Gong Xuerong, Ms. Li
Jun, Ms. Wang Ling, and Ms. Wu Yueju, suffered deformed hands due to the torture
of being hung up and some of them were beaten until they had broken bones. Most
of the torture was conducted in the evening. In the camp, criminals who had been sentenced several times could do whatever
they wanted. Zhang Xiujuan and Ge Hong were these kind of criminals. Zhang
Xiujuan was released from the camp in spring 2004. On August 26, 2004, she was
sent back to the camp for a third time. Earlier, she had also been imprisoned in
the Shenyang Dabei Jail in Liaoning Province. She came back to the camp at noon.
That evening, Wan Yalin let her take charge of the small cells and made her a
full-time persecutor of the Falun Dafa practitioners. Because she cooperated in
persecuting the practitioners, she didn't have to work, and her sentence was
shortened. Meanwhile, she enjoyed the best benefits available for criminals in
the camp and even the guards shared their good food with her. Ge Hong was
released from the camp in 2003. She came back a month later. She asked her
family not to send any money to her. Instead, she extorted money from
practitioners. She told people that in 2002 when she was in charge of the small
cells, she extorted over 1,000 yuan from a practitioner. If the criminals sympathize with Falun Gong practitioners and speak up for
them, their terms in the camp are extended. When criminals first arrive at the
camp, they are told how to strictly watch and treat practitioners. If they treat
practitioners strictly and venomously, their sentences are shortened. If not,
their sentences are extended. Criminal Bao Fengzhi was often locked up in a
small cell by Wan Yazhi because the Falun Dafa practitioner he was assigned to
watch refused to recite the "thirty regulations." Wan Yazhi thought
that Bao Fengzhi didn't treat the practitioner harshly enough. Criminal Zhao Hui
said to the practitioners who were locked in the small cells: "We didn't
like to do these things either. We were forced to do them." The officials
in the camp deceive the public by saying that they "educate, save and
influence the criminals." Guard Xu Lili said to a practitioner, "Even if you are built with steel
muscles and iron bones, I will still smash you." She often tells the
criminals, "If others think that you are a good person, it means that you
have lost. If they all think that you are bad, it means that you are good."
She also teaches the criminals how to lie. She especially admires criminals who
sell counterfeit money in society and thinks that they are smart and have great
abilities. Many criminals say, "I feel that I am not being reformed in the
camp. Instead, I've become worse." Every time we had a rush work order for bean bagging, supervisor Hao always
said, "Now is the time to check whether you have been reformed or
not." What Hao called "being reformed" was actually to see who
had more bean bags done according to her instruction. It didn't matter if you
had done a good job or not. The more you had put the good beans on top of the
unsorted beans in the bags, the better you had been reformed. The Dalian City Forced Labor Camp was a special place to conduct lies, resort
to deceit, teach violence, and poison people's consciences. 3. Below Are the Experiences of Some Practitioners Who Were Persecuted Ms. Wang Guangfu, 60, was locked up in a small cell where she suffered from
torture and forced brainwashing just because she said "Falun Dafa is
good" and "Falun Dafa is righteous Fa" loudly in the labor camp's
workplace. In April, 2004, Ms. Wang demanded that the guards return human rights
to the Falun Dafa practitioners and reduce the working hours. Once more, she was
locked up in a small cell and had another six months added to her sentence. She
was forced to stand for a few days and then was tied on the Dead Person's Bed.
After she was released from the small cell, her limbs were swollen and she
couldn't move her left arm, so she couldn't work. The guards shirked their
responsibilities and told people that her arm was injured because she was too
nervous. Guard Wang Cuixia said that Ms. Wang Guangfu was pretending so that she
could be lazy. Ms. Fan Jinghua was 49 years old. Zhao Xia incited criminals to beat her
because Ms. Fan wouldn't say "How are you team leader?" Guard Xu Lili
incited the criminals to beat Fan Jinghua again because she didn't hang her name
card on her bed, and they also cuffed her to the heating pipe in the office.
When the criminals beat her, she said loudly "Falun Dafa is good."
Because of that, Xu Lili sealed her mouth with tape. They also didn't allow her
to eat. On the evening of May 9, 2004, Ms. Fan was locked up in a small cell to
be cruelly tortured by Wan Yalin and Zhao Xia. These two also tried to force her
to write a self criticism report. Zhang Yan incited the criminals to tie Ms. Fan
on the Dead Person's Bed, which had only three narrow boards. Her arms and legs
became swollen. Ms. Fan was cuffed like that for so long that the cuffs cut open
her skin and one could see the muscles around her ankles. They didn't allow Ms.
Fan to use the bathroom, and they forced a mop handle into her vagina. Fifty seven year old Ms. Lu Rong was also locked up in a small cell for
calling out "Falun Dafa is good" together with Ms. Wang Guangfu and
others in the workplace in 2004. When she saw the criminals beat Ms. Wang, she
shouted, "Stop beating Falun Gong practitioners!" A few criminals
quickly attacked her. She was beaten to unconsciousness, so the criminals poured
cold water on her head to wake her up, then continued beating her. Ms. Guong Xuerong, 47, firmly believed in Falun Dafa, so they beat her until
her left hand became disabled. The criminals beat her with boards, stepped on
her body and deprived her of sleep. Four criminals threw her up into the air and
she violently fell to the ground. Ms. Li Hong, 32, was locked up in a small cell and seriously tortured because
she insisted on practicing Falun Dafa. The criminals put hot peppers into her
vagina and hung her up with her arms parallel to the floor with her legs spread
apart. After being released from hanging, her legs had totally lost all feeling. Ms. Li Jingyi, 50, was transferred to the Dalin City Forced Labor Camp on
March 22, 2004. While being transferred to the camp, she continually called out,
"Falun Dafa is good." After they arrived at the camp, the policeman
who brought her to the camp ordered the criminals to beat her. Ms. Li was
immediately locked up in a small cell to be tortured. The criminals hung Ms. Li
from an iron window frame facing the outside in the "Strictly Monitored
Room" for four days. The criminals grabbed her by the hair and banged her
head against the wall. Criminal Xing Jie kicked Li on her back, which was
slightly curved due to protrusion syndrome of the lumbar vertebral disc. They
also said to Ms. Li while holding a Coke bottle: "This bottle is for
holding feces and the feces is prepared for your meals. In the evening, we will
spread your legs with a board and use the bottle to check whether or not you are
a virgin." Criminal Cui Jinnan bit herself on the finger to make it bleed,
then said to Ms. Li, "I'll tell the team leader that you bit me." Ms.
Li then called the team leader. After hearing the whole thing, Deputy Team
Leader Yuan Lingyue said that Cui Jinnan, and Wen Xiumei had their sentences
extended five days, and Xing Jie was moved out of the small cell. Because they
leaked out the small cells' secrets too early, those tortures were done in the
evening. Because of the cruel tortures, Ms. Li's back was in great pain. She
couldn't sleep at night, and the next day she was still forced to work. When Ms.
Li didn't finish her work, Xu Lili slapped her face on both sides. Even after
she punished Ms. Li, she still forced Ms. Li to say "Thank you, team
leader, goodbye." In the camp, it didn't matter how often you saw the
guards, each time you had to say: "How are you" to them. If you didn't
say it, you would be punished. Ms. Fan Jinghua was illegally sentenced to three years in a forced labor
camp, and the other practitioners mentioned above were all sentenced to two
years. The Zhongshan District, Dalian City People's Court planned to illegally
sentence practitioners Ms. Hu Guilian, Ms. Hu Shumei, and Ms. Liu Wencan around
the New Year. Zhao Yanhua, from the Zhongshan District Procuratorate, was the
one in charge in their cases. Her telephone: 86-411-82714858-6326 (Office),
86-130527466401 (Cell). At present, practitioners Ms. Hu Guilian and Ms. Hu Shumei are still being
illegally held at the Dalian Detention Center (also called Yaojia). Notes: 01/04/2005
