Zibo City's Wangcun Forced Labor Camp Persecutes Falun Gong Practitioners in Shandong Province

(Clearwisdom.net) Since 2000, Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Zibo City has followed the Communist Party's regime, violently persecuting Falun Gong practitioners and committing terrible crimes. This article reveals some facts of the persecution.

1) Forced Brainwashing

Every day, the labor camp forces Falun Gong practitioners to watch videos that defame Falun Gong. They also force practitioners to write the so called "eight-documents," namely a promise letter, a break-up letter, a revelation and criticism letter, a confession and resolution letter, confession documents, a realization letter, a weekly summary and a monthly summary. The labor camp also forces every one to attend a "legal education class." The practitioners are forced to do homework. All that is taught in the "class" is the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) fabrications. The camp also holds regular revelation and criticism meetings and forces people to write denunciation presentations for these meetings.

Practitioners are mistreated in many ways, including extended time sitting on a cold bench and facing a wall, forced military style training, sleep deprivation and around the clock monitoring. Any one refusing to succumb is locked up in the strictly controlled cell or sent to the strictly controlled division for harsher treatment.

If a practitioner refuses to compromise, the police or some collaborators will resort to violence. The most common torture devices are, wooden clubs, rubber clubs, electric batons, ropes, whips, handcuffs and shackles. The police also use sentence-reduction to lure practitioners to betray Falun Dafa.

Collaborators are sent to every brainwashing session. These people report on practitioners' activities and deceive people through brainwashing. The collaborators are assigned to work as "teaching" assistants. They focus on "transforming" people whenever they start to have doubts about Dafa.

For the practitioners who refuse to compromise or if someone who compromised later revokes their mistake, the police will arbitrarily extend their terms. Normally the extension is from one to twelve months. However, when the extension is over, the police still can continue to hold the practitioner for no reason.

2) High Intensity Labor

Wangcun Forced Labor Camp imposes a hard-line and close-loop management system on practitioners. To reduce Falun Gong practitioners' opportunities to talk to each other, they have instituted high intensity labor. The practitioners are forced to work all day long, only allowing a little time for meals and washing. Even on Sundays they have insufficient time to rest. The food is terrible and unclean. Many practitioners are very thin.

Some determined practitioners are assigned to sleep on the concrete floor in the hallway during the winter. For 22 months, Practitioner Du Yihe of Linyi City was locked up in solitary confinement as a form of torture. Even when it was cold, he was forced to sleep on the concrete floor with one bed sheet. Another practitioner was handcuffed and hung up for the whole night because he passed Master Li's lectures to fellow practitioners. In December 2005, practitioner Zhao Kegui wrote a letter to his daughter. The letter contained the sentence, "Falun Dafa is good." Because of this, policeman Li Gongming handcuffed Zhao to a bed for a long time.

The Wangcun Forced Labor Camp is a notorious concentration camp for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners in Shandong Province. The Men's Campus Number Two has two regular teams and a strict control team. The Women's Campus Number Two has three teams. Presently, about 600 practitioners are detained here. Sources say the number is increasing every day. At first, all women practitioners were assigned to Team Seven or Eight. Later the most determined practitioners were transferred to Team Six. In October 2005, the police and 610 Office personnel arrested Falun Gong practitioner Ms. He Shuqin of Jiaozhou's Huadong Design Institute. At the time, she was clarifying the truth to the office manager of the retiree's club and encouraging the person to quit the communist party. He Shuqin was sent to Wangcun Forced Labor Camp. On November 25, 2005, Linyi District, Fei County practitioner Peng Yunchang was arrested and sent to Wangcun, shortly after he was released from another forced labor camp.
