Partial Account of Practitioners Persecuted in the Women's Division of Tumuji Forced Labor Camp in Inner Mongolia
By a practitioner in Inner Mongolia, China
(Clearwisdom.net) The Women's Division of Tumuji Forced Labor Camp in
Inner Mongolia started a brainwashing class in its hospital on August 2, 2004 in
order to force practitioners to give up cultivation in Dafa. They assigned six
police officers and two guards to watch one practitioner and harass her both
physically and mentally. Many practitioners were severely persecuted. On the afternoon of October 6, they called a meeting to attack Falun Gong. In
the meeting, Siqingaowa yelled: "Falun Gong is good." A few police
officers came, dragged her out, and put her in solitary confinement. They
subsequently sent her to the brainwashing class, where they had two policewomen
continually bombard her with propaganda . They did not let her sleep unless she
cooperated with them. Normally they only allowed her two hours of sleep each
night. They once deprived her of sleep for four nights in a row. They also
forced her to sit motionless on a narrow bench for a prolonged period of time. Practitioner Fan Guizhi was sent to the brainwashing class around November
28, 2004. Just like Siqingaowa, she was forced to stand and was deprived of
sleep. The punishment lasted for about a month, followed by another month of
solitary confinement. Around April 10, 2005, she was sent to the brainwashing
class again. Two collaborators, Li Xiaoyun and Guo Junxiu, tried to
convert her. When they failed, the police began to persecute her themselves,
causing great damage to her mental and physical health. She has since been sent
to Hohhot for further persecution. Practitioner Wang Wei had her labor camp term extended twice because she
refused to attend the meeting attacking Falun Gong. She went on a hunger strike
to protest the persecution. On the sixth day, she was taken to the hospital to
be force-fed and injected with drugs. She was handcuffed to the bed with her
arms spread apart to stop her from resisting. She was then sent to the
brainwashing class on January 4, 2005. Policeman Ma Hongyun and Zhai Qiuhua were
among those persecuting her. Practitioner Chen Jinhong was taken to the brainwashing class in March 2005.
For the first twenty days or so she was deprived of sleep. When she protested,
she was hung up and handcuffed to a bunk bed with Teacher's picture put below
her feet by policemen Ma Hongyun and Zhang Yaguang. As a result of the hanging,
her legs became severely swollen and cramped and were in extreme pain, which
made it difficult for her to walk. The police officers laughed at her. On April
10, another practitioner, Liu Aihua, was sent to the brainwashing class and
endured the same torture. Practitioner Li Ping was spotted by team leader Li Aiye and policewoman Zhai
Shuhe when she was reading Teacher's articles. When other people went out to
work she was ordered to stay, and was handcuffed to a bed. Li Aiye slapped her a
dozen times. After their work, practitioners Zhu Yuzhen, Ma Xiuling, and Zhang
Chunjie went to Li Aiye to demand Li Ping's release, and asked to see the
captain. When the captain came, he beat the three practitioners, kicking some
and hitting the others with an electric baton. The police in Genhe County arrested practitioners Fan Guizhi, Wang Wei and
Chen Jinhong and sent them to Tumuji Forced Labor Camp. They have been held
there since April 2002 without any legal process. Policemen involved in the persecution: Ma Hongyun, Zhai Qiuhua, Mou Fengrong,
Chen Qiang, Wang Yiping, Li Aiye |
